Arlington, Texas- It seemed like a perfect summer day at the ballpark. It was nearly 90 degress, Memorial Day weekend was being celebrated and the Rangers were the hottest team in the league. But so were the Yankees and they made the Rangers pay early on. The Yankees scored 2 runs even before Phil Hughes(3-2) pitched. But he didn't need any help at all, as he was dominant the whole game, going 8 strong innings as the Yankees win 11-1. Arod also had a very good day at the plate going 5-5 with 4 Rbi. He was being booed bascially the whole game but that didn't bother him at all. Matt Harrison(4-4) pitched 5 innings, giving up 11 hits on 7 runs. The only HR of the game was given up by Alfredo Aceves and Nelson Cruz gave the Rangers the only run of the day with his swing.
Hughes' Line: 8 IP, 3 Hits, 0 runs, 101 pitches
Aceves' Line: 1 IP, 1 hit, 1 run, 8 pitches
Notes: Bruney on DL, pitcher to be activated tommorow.... Kevin Cash has his first multi-hit game as a Yankee going 3 for 5....As Melky Cabrera was rounding second on a line drive into the gap, he slipped causing him to go to second. It caused laughs from the team especially from Robinson Cano, who was imitating him after the play.... Swisher also had a good day going 1 for 4 with 3 Rbi.
Minor League Update later
