Al Leiter Pitches Yankees to Series Win, Yanks Trail Sox by 1/2 Game

by @ 9:00 pm. Filed under 2005 Season

No, your glasses aren’t out of focus. That is the Al Leiter. The last time Al Leiter wore the Yankees pinstripes, the Yankees finished below .500 (1989). Fortunately for him, he was shipped to the Blue Jays for Jesse Barfield, because the following year the Yankees lost 95. 95 losses was the most losses by Yankees team since 1912.

And it looks like the Marlins loss is our gain. Despite sporting a 52/60 strikeout to walk ratio for the Marlins, Al Leiter was a hero of sorts yesterday. He threw 6 1/3 very quality innings, giving up only three hits and one run. He struck out a season high eight batters.

The win put the Yanks a mere half game back of the Red Sox. They’re up 6-3 against the Rangers tonight, so they’ll be putting the heat on the Red Sox who are tied 1-1 in the sixth against the Devil Rays. Kevin Brown has a;ready givien up three runs tonight, as he’s making his first start since coming off of the DL.

After playing three against the Rangers, things don’t get much easier as they head out west to play four against the Angels.
