Wrap-up of the Rangers and Yankees

The Yankees have just finished up a three game series with the AL West Leaders the Texas Rangers. The Yankees swept the Rangers finishing up their home-stand at 6-4. Over the three games the Yankees out scored the Rangers 27-10. Tuesday the Yankees won 12-4 behind big nights from the whole Yankee lineup and CC Sabathia. One of the announcers said he didn't have his best stuff. But I feel he did he just thew more hitable pitches so they could get outs. Swisher added a home run and Nunez made his impact felt with the first RBI of the game on a single in the second. CC moved to 8-4. Game 2 featured Nova vs. Holland. Nova struggled early giving up 4 runs in the first 5 innings. He went 6.2 before Ayala got out of a 7th on a play at the plate when Grandy threw out Torrealba at home on good block by Cervelli. Nova is now 6-4 but Tex was big with a HR from each side of plate. That was his 11th time doing that tying Chilli Davis and Eddie Murray for the most times in ML history. Yanks went out to win 12-4 again. Today professional minor leaguer Brian Gordon made his first ML start and threw to the tune of 5.2 giving up 2 ER, 3BB, and 3K. He got a no decision. Yankee offense went quiet only scoring 2 runs in regulation. Cory Wade picked up the win throwing a perfect 11 and 12 then defensive upgrade Brett Gardner ended it in the 12th on a walk-off single scoring Granderson. The Yankees will play in Chicago this weekend against the Cubs. Before I go my boy Beau Hossler a 16 year old is +4 at the US Open where Rory McIlroy is in the lead. Thanks for reading. I'm Out!
