3-0 1.44
On a day that started with Granderson on the DL and Alex Rodriguez sitting out with a sore knee, the Yanks absolutlely clobbered the White Sox behind 7 more shutout innings from Phil Hughes. Hughes was routinely brilliant, K'ing 6 walking one and scattering 4 hits. And he's only going to get better. Mark Teixeira, remember him? continued his May breakout with a four hit game. Cano continued his age 27 rampage with a double, a 3-run jack and a walk. Brett Gardner hit his first homer and also had an RBI single and a walk. Nick Swisher had 3 or 4 hits including a 2 run jack. Jeter had a few more hits. Posada hit well. Nick Johnson made three hard outs before lining a 2 run double into the left/center gap. Melancon pitched a perfect 8th, then gave up a 3 run homer in the 9th. See ya. 12-3 Yanks. CC goes tomorrow. Go Yanks!

Aside from the double, I don't think I've ever seen a hitter have such bad luck in one game the way Nick Johnson did today. I think he's about to bust out in a big way.
Phil, your faith in Hughes has never waivered. Hopefully he is getting back to the point before his setback with injuries and we can see more of his outstanding stuff for years to come.
He's still very young and so many of them go through that injury spell one way or another in their late teens and early twenties. He's going to be adding more velocity, and then watch out.
