8-1

Andy worked 7.1 innings of 2 run ball to pick up his 8th win tonight, and his 200th as a Yankee. That's spectacular. Aside from the year he's having, defense independant stats show him to be a better HoF candidate than he is routinely understood to be. The other Yanks scored 3 in the first then stopped grinding, picking up one late run. Jeter made an error in the 8th on a ball he should have caught and continued a double play with. The runners were then sacrificed to second and third with a bunt, and Joba came in to get the final two outs, giving up an unearned run on a sac fly, then K'ing Berkman, his future teammate. Mo pitched a 1-2-3 9th. The Yanks haven't hit a homer in 3 games. And as we found out ARod is now day to day with a touch of hip flexor tendonitis. Javy Vazquez tries to keep it going tomorrow. Go Yanks!
