Baseball’s Savior

First off, the bad news.  Jeff Karstens was hit by a comebacker to leadoff hitter Julio Lugo and after a single by Kevin Youkilis, he was taken out of the game.  The good news is, Kei Igawa shut the Red Sox out through six innings and he picked up the win in a 3-1 Yankees win.  He walked four and struck out six.  Mariano Rivera finally picked up his first save with a shutout ninth.

Jorge Posada provided most of the offense with a two run homer.  He also scored on Melky Cabrera’s double and Derke Jeter finished with three hits in the game.

Chien-Ming Wang gets the start tomorrow in the rubber game.  It’s about time to put the Red Sox in their place.
