4 Game Sweep

The Good

The Yankees completed a 4 game sweep of Toronto, and yesterday, it was Pettitte's mastery of ground ball outs, and Granderson's homerun that led the pack.  Pettitte pitched 6 innings allowing just 1 run, and the Yankee offense came from behind to win 5-3.

Technically, the Yankees didn't hit too well.  They managed just 4 hits yesterday.  The difference was that they walked a bunch of times and got the hits when they needed to.  Granderson's homerun got the most attention, but Nunez's two-run single made the difference in the game.

The Bad

Eduardo Nunez has a .248 average on the season, yet in the last 10 days he's hit .343.  Because of his low season batting average, no one even notices how well he's been playing, and it makes him really sad. 

The Ugly

Jeter had two-hits yesterday.  Unfortunately, they were in Scranton :(

Yes!

Just what we've been waiting for all summer: regular power.  Granderson hit a homerun leaving continuing the Yankees contributions to humanity.
