Yanks beat Fish

The New York Yankees started their 9 game roadtrip off on the right foot beating the Florida Marlins 5-1 tonight. Andy Pettitte got the start and just looked great pitching 7 innings of 1 run ball with 3 hits. He tied his season high for strikeouts with 7 and didn't walk a batter. Andy is just a different pitcher outside of the bandbox known as Yankee Stadium. He is now 7-3 on the year. Brian Bruney pitched a 1-2-3 eighth and Brett Tomko did the same in the ninth. The Yankees pitching has gotten themselves straightened out lately, A.J. Burnett will try and keep it going tomorrow night. The offense saw everyone in the lineup get a hit including Andy Pettitte who had a rbi double. Derek Jeter had a couple of hits as well as Johnny Damon. Angel Berroa who you barely see even had a rbi double in place of A-rod who will sit out tomorrow before returning on Sunday. The Yankees didn't score after the 3rd inning tonight though but did enough early to win this game. They will try and keep it going tomorrow facing a tough pitcher in Josh Johnson. They did get in to Florida at about 3am and also had extreme heat which fatigued them, they say they should be better by tomorrow night. The Yankees really need to take this series after being embarrassed at home, maybe they liked the fact of having nice weather and being able to take BP and all of that which they didn't do at home at all with the terrible rain.
