The New York Yankees defeated the
Texas Rangers on Wednesday night. The
game took place at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, New York and the final score
was 2-1. David Phelps started and
pitched well. The rains came in the
fifth inning and the grounds crew just couldn't get the tarp on in time. The field was soaked and deemed too dangerous
to play in and the game was called after a long delay. Francisco Cervelli had two hits and Brett
Gardner a hit and an RBI.
Phelps pitched five innings giving
up five hits and a run. He walked none
and struck out three to earn his fifth win of the season.
Yu Darvish pitched 4 1/3 innings
giving up four hits and two runs. He
didn't walk a batter and struck out five and lost his sixth game of the
season.
Gardner had a hit and an RBI, Chase
Headley had a hit and Cervelli had two hits.
Headley hit a double and Cervelli hit two doubles. Gardner hit a homerun and the Yankees were
0-4 with runners in scoring position and left three men on base.
Alex Rios had a hit, Adrian Beltre
had a hit and Leonys Martin had two hits.
Gimenenez had a hit, Martin hit a triple and the Rangers were 0-3 with
runners in scoring position and left two men on base. Rios was caught stealing and Beltre committed
an error.
All the runs of the game were
scored in the third inning. The Rangers
took a 1-0 lead on a ground ball double play.
Cervelli scored on a balk to tie the game for the Yankees and then
Gardner hit a solo homerun to give them a 2-1 lead and that would be the final
score. The two teams will finish their
four game series on Thursday afternoon.
