I have a feeling it’s going to be like this all season. Sometimes, the pitching will come through and the bats do their jobs. Other times, the pitching won’t be there but the Yanks will score ten and still pick up the win. Then there’s a game like last night where the hitting is only okay and the pitching blows the game.
The Yankees had a nice 4-1 lead and they let it slip. Kei Igawa did most of the damage when he gave up two runs in the sixth but then Kyle Farnsworth was knocked around again and he gave up the tying run. The pitching caught a groove for a while but Brian Brunley was eventually tagged for the game winner in the eleventh.
Bobby Abreu had a nice game at the plate. He went two for four with a run and an RBI. Alex Rodriguez and Jason Giambi also picked up two hits.
Darrell Rasner gets the start tonight and the Yanks will face off against Joe Blanton. Hopefully Rasner will make up for his poor start last time around.
