Yankees Overcome Four Run Deficit, Then Lose In Ninth

by @ 2:11 pm. Filed under 2009 Yankees

Man, this was a tough one.  The Yankees came back from four down only to lose it in the ninth.  You have to kind of fell for Phil Coke.  He gave up a walk to lead off the ninth then got pulled after a sac. bunt.  Then David Robertson came in and gave up a walk and a single to allow the winning run to score.  Coke takes the loss, but Robertson should have gotten at least an assist (in a bad way).

Phil Hughes was pretty unspectacular in his start.  He gave up four runs in five frames but he did strikeout six with one walk.  Chien-Ming Wang threw three innings of shutout relief to keep the Yanks in it but he gets nothing for his efforts (except maybe a rotation spot here soon).

Mark Teixeira was a one man wrecking crew.  He belted a two run homer to put the Yankees on the board, then he had a two run double in the eighth to tie the game up.  Johnny Damon scored two of those runs while Derek Jeter went two for four and he scored once.

The final game in the wrap around series is tomorrow and Joba gets the ball.  Jeremy Sowers throws for the Indians.  His ERA is close to eight so I like our chances.
