Win streak ends at 9

The World Champion Philadelphia Phillies came in to Yankee Stadium and snapped the Yankees 9 game winning streak tonight by the score of 7-3. A.J. Burnett was not very good giving up 5 runs in 6 innings. He hasn't won a game since April 14 and that is a big concern to me. He needs to get it together soon and start winning games. The thing about him is he can be like CC Sabathia in that once he gets it going he may just roll out a bunch in a row but right now he is not getting it done. Chien-Ming Wang came in relief and pitched 3 innings giving up 2 runs on 6 hits with a walk and a couple of strikeouts. His velocity was better and he did a little better but it still wasn't great. It is something to build on though, he won't pitch until Tuesday at the earliest although it is expected that Joba will pitch that game. Phil Hughes pitches Monday and I am guessing now that if he pitches well he will keep starting and Wang will stay in the pen. Offensively A-rod had a couple of hits one of them a solo homerun, Tex had a couple of more hits including a monster shot that almost reached the third deck in right field. Derek Jeter had a solo homerun. The Yankees were shut down for the most part by Brett Myers who had good offspeed stuff tonight. The Yankees will try and start a new winning streak tomorrow with Andy Pettitte on the mound against J.A. Happ.
