Yanks: Tanaka Moves to 8-1

Masahiro Tanaka was more dominant than his impressive line of 8 IP, 4H, 1R, 0ER, 2BB and 9K indicates, and that's because the Yankees porous D and porous O made it really hard on the team ACE.  Oh, and his ERA is down to 2.06.

Kelly had an error in the first that lead to the run, and also elevated Tanaka's PC.    Later, Soriano had an error on a fly ball, that I'm pretty sure I could have caught.  And that once again elevated Tanaka's PC.   But he's amazing and got out of all the jams.   There was a rain delay in the 8th, and when Robertson came in, they had an error behind him.

The Yanks offense was pitiable, they loaded the with no outs in the first and they couldn't get a run across.  And this against a pitcher with an ERA over 6.  So instead of a tense 1-1 ballgame, we had a frustrating game that they probably would have lost with anyone else on the mound.

We'll see if they have to DL Tex.  Again, they should call up Roller and give him a long audition, instead of getting into the Kendry Morales market after the draft, which can't come soon enough.
