Yanks lose finale to Mariners

The New York Yankees were defeated by the Seattle Mariners by the score of 8-4 tonight ending their 7 game winning streak. The story of the game was the ineffectiveness of Sabathia. He just didn't pitch well giving up 6 runs on 10 hits in 5 2/3 innings with 3 walks and 8 strikeouts. Alfredo Aceves came on in relief and got a strikeout with the bases loaded to end the sixth and then pitched a scoreless seventh and eighth inning but came back out for the ninth and gave up a two run homerun to Russel Branyan who hit it off of the restaurant in CF. I think Joe Girardi pushed Aceves too far and could of pitched someone else there and if it was 6-4 in the ninth who knows especially considering that they had 2 on and no outs in the ninth before getting 3 straight outs. The story of the game though was CC Sabathia and I wouldn't be worried he just didn't pitch well and it is going to happen, he had pitched so well over his last 10 outings you didn't expect it but its just one game and you have to move on. The offense was pretty much Robinson Cano who had 3 hits and Hideki Matsui who had 2 hits. The Yankees only managed 7 hits overall and 2 of those were in the ninth inning. The Yankees start a 4 game holiday weekend series against the Jays tomorrow with A.J. Burnett on the hill against Brian Tallett. The Yankees will be looking to start a new winning streak.
