But the Yankees offense came alive with each member of the starting lineup getting a hit, none bigger than Robinson Cano's bit two out triple to extend the Yankees lead. Joba Chamberlain provided some tense moments as well but came away with the save tonight.
Tonight was a cold--and very windy--night at the Stadium, and the game felt like an October affair. And although the crowd was, on a whole, pretty dead from the cold, we had an entertaining fan in front of us telling Carl Crawford how much he sucked over and over again. Another big win for the Yanks as they move up 2.5 in the division and put their magic number to clinch at playoff spot at 3.

Huge win for the Yanks. Great to see them score some runs finally, and it guarantees at least a split. Plus, the bigger cushion they can build in the East, the better....Tampa finishes against Seattle, Baltimore, and KC. You know, the 3 of the 4 worst teams in the AL.
ReplyDeleteBy contrast, we get the Red Sox, Toronto, and then the Red Sox again. Advantage: TB. Gotta win at least 3 of 4 at home against them. Sweep would be a dream.
