Pettitte Takes the Loss Vs. Tigers

Posted by M. Patel under News 

The Yankees suffered another loss tonight against the Tigers. Andy Pettitte took the loss and is now 3-3 on the year. He allowed seven hits and five runs in six innings pitched. Kyle Farnsworth would later give up another run to the Tigers. The final score was 6 to 2.

By the score you can tell that our offense isn’t up to par yet. With Posada and Rodriguez out a slowdown is understandable, but come on, we can definetely score more than two runs a game. Our two runs came off a sacrifice by Giambi and a single by Cabrera, both in the first inning.

While the injuries do hurt, that doesn’t give us an excuse to lose. Andy Pettitte put it best post-game when he said,

“You lose those guys it’s going to hurt your team. You realize that but it’s the same old story. Everybody has injuries and nobody’s going to feel sorry for you.”

And with that April 2008 is over and here comes May. Tomorrow we will try our hand again against Detroit with Ian Kennedy on the mound this time. The Tigers will put in Nate Robertson as their starter. The game is at 7:05 EST and will be on YES.
