Yanks come out of break strong

The Yankees kind of had rookie Luke French on the ropes early but couldn't knock him out although they did make him throw a lot of pitches. The Yankees got to the bullpen in the 7th though and took a 5-3 lead. A.J. Burnett was very erractic pitching 6 innings giving up 3 runs on 6 hits, with 5 walks and only 1 strikeout, he just wasn't sharp at all although he did battle and keep the team in the game. The thing is with A.J. and CC you don't want to hear that, they are the guys you expect to go out and dominate and get you the win. Phil Hughes was a savr once again pitching 2 shutout innings, striking out 6, he just looks so calm and confident out there on the mound and for good reason. The offense had their big hit when Big Tex blasted a 3 run homerun in the 7th inning to give the Yankees the lead. Melky Cabrera had a big hit but Jorge Posada was thrown out at the plate to erase that and Johnny Damon had a couple of hits. Mark Teixeira besides having the big homerun also had a couple of other hits. Hideki Matsui had 2 hits and a rbi and Robinson Cano had 2 hits as well as Derek Jeter. A-rod and Nick Swisher were the only guys in the lineup without a hit. Mariano Rivera came on for the save and we look forward to a great matchup tomorrow with CC Sabathia taking on Justin Verlander tomorrow at 1:05 on the Yes network.
