Yanks sweep sox

The New York Yankees defeated the Boston Red Sox tonight sweeping the 4 game series and putting themselves 6 1/2 ahead of the Sox. The Red Sox are now tied with Texas for the wild card lead and only 2 games ahead of Tampa Bay. Andy Pettitte started and was great going 7 shutout innings. The top 3 yankees starters went 7 2/3, 7 1/3 and 7 in the last 3 games without giving up a run. Phil Coke came on in the 8th and got Ellsbury but then he stayed in which I don't get at all since Phil Hughes only pitched to 1 hitter the last 2 days. Phil Coke gave up a 2 run homerun to Victor Martinez. The Yankees hitters didn't do much other then a A-rod homerun in the 7th but then after Josh Bard got 2 easy outs Johnny Damon and Mark Teixeira went back to back for the 6th time this year to set a team record. They weren't done as A-rod walked, Posada doubled and Nick Swisher singled them both in. Mariano Rivera came on in the 9th for the save. The Yankees are in great shape but you don't want to let down now, Toronto comes in for 3 and it would be natural to let down but hopefully they wont. Sergio Mitre pitches tomorrow night against Mark Rzepczynski. The Yankees have now won 7 in a row and have won 13 of their last 14 at home. I have to say also that there is something about this team, they are looking like a special group. They were down 2-1 in the 8th with 2 outs and no one on when they went back to back and then scored 2 more runs and basically end the game with Mo coming in.
