Baseball’s Savior

The Yankees took care of business behind the arm of Chien-Ming Wang in a 4-1 win over the Astros.  Wang got 10 groundball outs through his five innings of work and he gave up just a single run on three hits with two strikeouts.  No walks either.  I’ve never been a big believer in Wang the 19 game winner but I think he’s poised for a solid season this year.

Four different Yankee relievers threw shutout innings to close out the game.  Jonathan Albaladejo was particularly strong. He struck out one and didn’t allow a baserunner in his shutout inning.

Austin Jackson singled and scored two of the Yankees’ runs.  Jose Molina and Robinson Cano each had a pair of hits while Eric Duncan singled and drove in two runs.

Tonight, the Yanks take on the Jays in a night game.  A.J. Burnett gets the start.
