Series Ended With Win

Posted by M. Patel under Bosox, News 

Today was the second of a two game series against the Tampa Bay Rays. The Yankees left with the win as Andy Pettitte has another great game. He pitched for seven innings, allowing three runs and nine hits and accumulating five strikeouts. Kyle Farnsworth pitched a scoreless 8th and Rivera closed for the save. A quote from Pettitte after the game:

“All of my pitches were working for the first time. I’m definitely pleased with where it’s going. Each game has gotten better and better. I’m just real happy that I was able to get to my curveball a lot tonight. My curveball has been non-existent.”

It’s great to hear him confident once more. It looks like the transition from the tough offseason will be no problem at all for Pettitte this year.

The game ended with a score of 5 to 3. Matsui hit the only home run of the game in the top of the second. The team had a total of eight hits, which isn’t too high, but they capitalized on five of them, which is great.

Next up are the Red Sox, who we will start a two game series with. Staff ace, Chien-Ming Wang will take the mound tomorrow against Clay Buchholz. The game starts at 7:05EST and will be broadcasted on both YES and ESPN2.
