Yanks win 2nd in a row

The New York Yankees defeated the Detroit Tigers today by the score of 2-1. This was a great pitching matchup of CC Sabathia and Justin Verlander and they didn't disappoint. CC Sabathia struggled a little bit early but was able to get out of trouble and settle down finishing with 7 shutout innings. He gave up 5 hits with 3 walks and 4 strikeouts. Alfredo Aceves came in to pitch the 8th inning and gave up a solo homerun but preservenind the lead. Mariano came on in the ninth and pitched a 1-2-3 inning for his 25th save. The offense didn't do much against Verlander, A-rod hit a solo homerun to right field that barely got out in the seventh and Melky Cabrera had a infield single for a RBI in the same inning. Derek Jeter had a couple of hits and Johnny Damon had a double. Nick Swisher had a double and that was about all the the offense for the game. The Yankees will go for the sweep tomorrow with Joba Chamberlain on the mound against Edwin Jackson it is also Old Timers Day with the festivities starting on Yes at 11:30AM.
