Yanks lose to Angels

The New York Yankees lost to the Anaheim Angels last night by the score of 10-6. They had a 5-1 lead in the 5th inning that Joba Chamberlain let get away and then Brian Bruney just gave them no chance when with the score at 7-6 he gave up a 3 run homerun to Erik Aybar the 9th place hitter. I don't know what is wrong with Joba and I am not sure if the Yankees do either but this is becoming a big problem as not only doesn't he pitch well he never goes more then 5 innings and just kills the bullpen. I wonder if the Yankees make a trade if they would consider sending him down to the minors, I doubt it but you never know. Mark Melancon pitched 2 2/3 innings giving up a run. He actually looked pretty good in his recall back to the major leagues. The offense was led by Derek Jeter who had 4 hits and A-rod who had a solo homerun and rbi double. Mark Teixeira had a hit. Jose Molina had a rbi hit in his firt game back. Melky Cabrera also had a rbi hit. Robinson Cano had a couple of hits. The Yankees will try and even the series this afternoon with Andy Pettitte taking on Jered Weaver at 4:00PM on FOX.

Yanks spank Twins

The New York Yankees defeated the Minnesota Twins tonight by the score of 10-2. CC Sabathia started and was brilliant for 7 innings giving up a solo homerun and 2 infield singles with 1 walk and 3 strikeouts. Brett Tomko finished off the last 2 innings giving up a run. The Yankees offense went nuts with 16 hits and every starter had at least one hit. A-rod had a sac fly and single. The sac fly should of been a grandslam but he got robbed by a leaping Carlos Gomez. Mark Teixeira had 4 hits, Robinson Cano had a couple of hits one being with the bases loaded, his first hit with runners in scoring position in his last 23 attempts. Francisco Cervelli may have played his last game as a Yankee for now as Molina is supposed to be coming back tomorrow or the next day and had a couple of hits and a rbi. The Yankees will look to keep it going with A.J. Burnett on the mound tomorrow. The Yankees remain a game behind Boston for first place in the AL East.
