Game Recap

I'll do my recap now instead of tommorow.
Arlington, Texas- AJ Burnett was used to throwing pies to the guys who get the walkoff hits, like Melky Cabrera or Johnny Damon. However, he deserved to get pied after the stellar peformance he put up tonight against the Rangers. He was filthy, striking out 7 in 6 innings of 3 hit ball. The Yankees also put up an offensive showing putting up 9 Runs, that include 2 HR from Hideki Matsui , one from Mark Teixeira, and one from Robinson Cano. Derek Jeter also had a good night by going 3-4 with a RBI. The only Yankee hitter that didn't get a hit in this game was Johnny Damon, who went 0-5. Jose Veras, pitched terrible in relief of Burnett giving up 2 Runs, on a 2-run shot by Ian Kinsler. But David Robertson and Chien-Ming Wang came in and put an end to this game. Wang looked great today, it seemed like his sinker was working like it used to and pitched two solid innings.
Our Player of the Game award goes to AJ Burnett for his solid performance and now will get the mock WWE belt in his locker after the game.
WP: AJ Burnett(3-2)
LP: Derek Holland(1-2)
Notes: Matsui was PR for in the 9th by Berroa.... Damon almost got injured like Melky when he collided with the wall to make a nice catch. Day off for the Yankees tommorow
So the Yankees take 2 out of 3 from the Rangers and now will head out to Cleveland for a 4 game series on Friday with Andy Pettitte(4-1, 4.30) vs Cliff Lee(2-5, 3.04)
Have a great night everyone!
