07/02: Unit Shelled
Posted by: Patrick
Randy Johnson again allowed 7 ER (this time over 5 IP and not 3) as the Yankees lost 10-2.
The Unit was pulled for Scott Proctor who gave up 3 more in just an inning of work. Jason Anderson got his first work as a Yankee, pitching 2 scoreless innings to finish up the game. The Yankees were held to 2 runs on 8 hits and 2 walks by Jeremy Bonderman, who pitched a complete game.
Robinson Cano was the only Yankee with 2 hits. Godzilla hit his 11th homer of the year as he notched RBI number 60 (Sheffield drove in the other run).
We now find ourselves back at an even .500., tied for the 16th best record in baseball. We are still only 6 games back in the division and 4.5 games back in the wild card standings. Today Carl Pavano (4-6, 4.77) takes the hill against Sean Douglass (1-0, 1.50).
Edit: "Rocket Shelled" as the title originally. I had Clemens on the brain when I wrote this entry. Not sure why. I tend to think of Clemens when I write about the Unit.
