Almost!

As you already know, Phil Hughes was utterly dominant tonight as he took a no-hitter into the 8th. Strangely, he was hit by a comebacker that he then lost track of, and that's how he gave up his no-no. He K'd 10 and walked 2. Joba came in to relieve him with two on and one out in the 8th and wasn't as sharp as Phil or as he had been last night. He gave up one of Phil's possible runs before retiring the side. The Yanks only managed 3 runs tonight, so things were tight for Mo when he came in in the 9th. Fortunately, after giving up a hit and hitting Kurt Suzuki, who threw his hip into the path of a cutter, Mo was able to get out of it and the Yanks won. But the big story was Hughes. And the big lesson for all of baseball is "dominance delayed is NOT dominance denied!" We have the best #5 on Earth! Go Phil! Go Yanks!
