Tex Times Three

The headline was going to be "Break up Cervelli!" after the young back-up catcher notched his fourth hit and fifth RBI of the game, but then Tex had to hit his third homer, so he gets the honors. Tex started off the day by hitting into a first inning DP, that was one of the few times the Yanks did not score as they would eventually put up 14 on the kings of run prevention. But after than Tex had four hits including 3 homers. His final homer came off of position player Jonathan Van Every. Cano has hit a rough patch and didn't do much, he was DHing, and it was still good to see him in the lineup after last night's plunking. Jeter had a couple of hits and remembered to take a walk. Gardner had more hits, a walk and a stolen base. ARod had a couple of hits, a couple of walks and a stolen base. Ramiro Pena playing 2nd for Cano had a couple of hits and a walk. It was a nice game for the O, obviously.

CC had some bad luck. I rain delay was called with the Yanks up 6-3, and two outs in the 5th. What's more, he had two strikes on Victor Martinez at the time. CC gave up all of his runs in the 3rd, when he gave up a homer to McDonald, hit Pedroia, and gave up to a homer to Martinez. It was weird. Aceves came in after the delay, got the final out in the 5th, but had to come out in the 6th when he tweaked his back with two on and one out. The Yanks obviously got out of that and every situation. Robertson was bad again. Joba and Marte were good. AJ goes for the sweep tomorrow. Go Yanks!
