Bombers Crank 5 Bombs to Even Series With Tribe
Starting pitching once again was not very spectacular. Joba Chamberlain went only 4 and 2/3 giving up 5 runs on 6 hits and walking 5. Walks seem to be the theme for Yankees starting pitching so far in 2009. The Yanks were able to overcome the weak effort with 5 home runs. Damon, Teixeira, Cabrera, Cano, and Jeter all hit solo shots and another run scored on a throwing error to help the Bombers edge the Tribe 6-5 and get their first win at the new Stadium. Jeter continued his display of clutch hitting in 2009 by putting the Yanks ahead for good with an 8th inning home run to right field off Jensen Lewis. Mariano Rivera nailed it down in the 9th to earn his 3rd save of the season. Chien-Ming Wang will take the ball for the Yankees today and hope to improve on his 0-2 start and robust 28.93 ERA. Wang has been rocked in his first two starts and didn’t get out of the 2nd inning against Tampa. Fausto Carmona will take an 0-2 start and 9.00 ERA to the mound for the Tribe. This looks to be an offensive type day as neither pitcher has started out well at all. Lets hope for some more Yankee long balls today and as always Go Yanks!!!
