Consistent offense pays off for Yankees

by @ 11:31 pm. Filed under 2008 Yankees

It was an error in the 1st inning that helped add 2 Runs to the total of 4 that Mike Mussina gave up today, in his otherwise great performance.  He went 6 innings, giving up 6 Hits, 4 Runs (2 Earned), Striking Out slightly  below his average with 4, and only Walking 1.  Not a bad days work, if you could just get some run support, and pitch from that point on, as close to perfect as you can, and ask your team to bail you out of this one. 

That is exactly what happened.  The Yankees and their high powered offense went to task, and used the eight remaining innings to catch and pass the Minnesota Twins, never looking back.  Once the lead was nullified in the 4th inning, and ended the day for the Twins starter, Perkins, they continued on their way, scoring Runs in the 5th and 7th, eclipsing a late burst by the Twins, and winning 6-5.

This win brings the club out of the basement, and into 4th place in the American League East, passing those Balitmore Orange Birds.  Momentum is really on the side of Derek Jeter and his New York Yankees.  They just need to keep this up, and before we know it, we will be talking about the “Used-to-be Devil” Rays, or the Boston Cream Puffs, at the top of the division, instead of that team from Baltimore.
