For the first four innings of today’s matinee between the Yankees and Athletics, Oakland seemed well on its way toward sweeping it first series in the Bronx since June 2006. Then, the Yankees scored 20 runs over the next four innings, turning a 7-2 deficit into a 22-9 victory. In order to effect the comeback, […]

Jays Rally Late Against Rivera As Bullpen Innings Continue to Mount
Posted in Baseball, Game Recap, MLB, Yankees, tagged Toronto Blue Jays on April 20, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
The Yankees’ have sorely needed more innings from their starters, but having Ivan Nova come out of the bullpen to pitch the 10th inning probably wasn’t the best way to go about it. The late inning cameo by Nova was necessitated by Mariano Rivera’s rare inability to polish off a save. From the very pitch […]
Going, Going Ogando: Yankees Touch Up Rangers Righty for Three Long Balls, but Win Game on Chavez’ RBI Single

No Alex Rodriguez? No problem (at least for one game). Despite being without their red hot slugger, the Yankees lineup didn’t miss a beat. After falling behind early, the Bronx Bombers belted three more homeruns, pushing their major league leading total to 27. The decisive blow, however, wasn’t a long ball, but rather a clutch […]

Yesterday, the Yankees died by the double play. Today, it gave them new life. In a scenario eerily reminiscent of last Tuesday’s 5-4 loss to Minnesota, the Yankees took a substantial lead into the eighth inning, but watched as Rafael Soriano gradually frittered it away. With two runs already across the plate, Adrian Beltre lofted […]

Normally, a field full of Mariano Riveras would be a Yankees fan’s dream, but on a night when baseball honored Jackie Robinson by having every player wear number 42, the team’s series opener against the Texas Rangers turned out to be a nightmare. Uniform numbers weren’t the only thing that had the Yankees seeing double. […]
Yankees Salvage Another Poor Outing from Hughes with a Serving of Pie

When Phil Hughes walked off the mound to a smattering of boos in the fifth inning, a walk off victory for the Yankees didn’t seem likely. However, thanks to some late clutch hitting and strong relief, pie was back on the menu by the end of the game. In his first two innings, Hughes looked […]
More of the Same: Yanks Feast on Buck’s Birds in First Meeting of Season

Buck Showalter’s new and improved Orioles left Yankee Stadium with the same old result: a loss. One pattern from past seasons that didn’t hold, however, was the performance of A.J. Burnett. Over the first two innings, the Yankee right hander struggled with his command and mechanics, but managed to pitch around trouble in each frame […]
