1 full game up heading to Boston. Another big win from them leads to another series win. 11 games over .500 and the homers continue with Teixeira (who has been ridiculously hot since A-Rod came back), Swisher (who is getting hot), Jeter (breaking him out of a slump), and Damon (who has hit 9 at home so far this season) going deep for the Yankees. New Yankee Stadium may be a homerun haven, but the Yankees have found a way to limit the runs and win there.
And how about this for the bullpen tonight: Phil Hughes for one, Phil Coke for one, and Mariano Rivera for a perfect one (his second after his hiccup on Saturday night).
Did not agree with Joe Girardi's decision to take out Phil Hughes after one inning, but it worked and it probably keeps Hughes available if they need him in Boston for a long relief appearance.
Does this start the "Hughes should be a reliever" debate? Hopefully not. Though guys do jack it up when they are out there. Hughes, who is usually in the low 90s was at 95-96 with his fastball.
Bring on the Red Sox!
