Yanks Win a Weird One

Yanks just beat the Angles and Mo got his 40th save, but it was another weird game against the Angels. Joba started and pitched 4 1run innings. He really only threw one bad pitch and that was to Vlad for the 1. Swisher homered to tie it. The Angels went up one on Aceves, then Tex put the Yanks back up 3-2 with a two run triple. The Yanks were done out of a big inning when one of the umps called Melky for interfering with a Chone Figgins. The replays showed Figgins had intentionally run into Melky. Phil Hughes came in with the Yanks up one and somehow loaded the bases. He managed to get out of it, but gave up the tying run on a double play. The Yanks scored two in the 8th. With one out, Tex got his third hit and second double of the night and was questionably replaced by Brett Gardner. The Angels walked ARod and with Matsui up, the Yankees initiated a double steal. The Angels threw the ball into left, scoring Gardner and moving ARod to 3rd. Matsui K'd and the Angels walked Posada to get to Cano. Cano singled home ARod, to put the Yanks up 5-3, which ended up being the final. Mo came in and like every other Yankee pitcher, got squeezed by the homeplate ump. He ended up giving up a rare walk to Figgins, who had already appeared to strike out. Then he appeared to have struck out Itzurus, only to have to get him again on a ground out. Another weird one, but at least it was a win. Yanks start a two game series against Toronto tomorrow. Go Yanks!
