Late Inning Lightning

Andy Pettitte pitched exceptionally to bring his record to 7-1 and his ERA to 2.48, but the big star today was Alex Rodriguez. Alex singled in Grandy in the first, hit a grandslam in the 7th when the score was only 2-1, then knocked in another run with a single in the 8th for 3-4 with 6RBI. He was also hit with a pitch. Cano was increased his hit streak going 2-5 with a homer and a two run single. Jeter also had a couple of hits but had to leave the game when his left hammy, where he too had been hit by a pitch tightened up. Gardy had three hits. Swish had some hits, Miranda had a big double, you get the picture. The O is really starting to come around. Andy left after 7 because of the long layoff between the top of the 7th and the top of the 8th. Park came in. The Yankee pitchers retired the last 19 Indians in a row before Park allowed a walk, two hits and a run with 2 out in the 9th. Yanks win 11-2. Javy Vazquez goes tomorrow. Go Yanks!
