Sorry I couldn't update the blog yesterday, was busy. I will have lineups for today's game as soon as possible. Here's the game recap from yesterday:
Cleveland, Ohio- The Yankees, coming in to yesterday's game were one of the hottest teams in the league, winning 13 of their last 16 games. However, yesterday's game had a new twist to it: the addition of Jorge Posada. The combo of A-rod, Matsui and Posada haven't been in the same lineup together since June of last year. And the Yankee offense, with the hitting streaks of 10+ games continuing for Derek Jeter and Mark Teixeira, came through early on off Cliff Lee(2-6), and gave the Yanks a 3-1 Win. Andy Pettitte(5-1), pitched a ok game, giving up only one run in 5 innings of work.He pitched too many pitches, got injured(he had back issues, said he will make his next start) but managed to hang on. Then, the player of the game, had to go to Alfredo Aceves, who pitched 3 beautiful innings in order to maintain the lead. Then Mo got the Save(10) and the Pettitte-MO combo now has the MLB record for most saves for a victory with 58 times. Dennis Eckersley and Bob Welsh have 57. And the Red Sox lost to the Blue Jays 5-3, which means the Yankees are in sole possession of first place in the AL East.
Notes: Kevin Cash was optioned back to Scranton for Jorge coming up..... Xavier Nady and Jose Molina will start their throwing programs this week, Monday and Tuesday respectively..... The Yankees are not considering Joba Chamberlain into the Bullpen, many media members were asking that throughout the year so far.....Melky Cabrera could be back in the lineup as soon as Monday...
