The Stopper

Phil Hughes ended the Yanks' three game skid tonight with 7 innings of shutout ball. He gave up 5 hits, only two were hit at all hard, walked one and K'd 8. He got out of a two on jam in the second and a bases loaded jam in the fourth inning. He's now 5-0 with a 1.38 ERA. The Yanks were only able to get him 2 runs to work with, but he only needed 1 for his win. Joba ended up getting 4 outs in the 8th after the first base ump blew a call and put a runner on who was out. He was terrific, too. The Yanks woke up and scored 6 in the top of the 9th. Mo came in and got the final three outs, just because he hadn't worked since April. Let's hope the O is wide awake for awhile now. CC goes tomorrow afternoon. Go Yanks!
