Yanks Keep It Up, Take Care of Indians Behind Joba’s Solid Start

by @ 6:27 pm. Filed under 2009 Yankees

Joba pitched eight innings for the first time in his career as the Yankees took care of business once again in a 5-3 win in their finale against the Indians.  Joba only struck out five, but he gave up just two runs on four hits and two walks in those eight frames and he needed 106 pitches.  Mariano Rivera put the Indians down in order for his eleventh save.

The Yankees set a record today.  It was the eighteenth straight game that the Yankees played without making an error.  Not too shabby and it’s not a coincidence that it’s matched up with the Yankees hot streak. 

Nick Swisher had the hot bat and he doubled twice and drove in two.  Alex Rodriguez singled, drew a walk and drove in two while Derek Jeter went two for three with two walks and a run.

The win gives the Yankees a one game lead over the Red Sox.  A.J. Burnett throws in the Yanks opener tomorrow against the Rangers while the Red Sox visit the Tigers.
