The Good
Although Gaudin didn't qualify for the win, he did give the Yankees 4.1 innings of scoreless baseball. He walked 5, and it seemed like every batter worked a full count, but he got the job done. Jeter got another pair of hits last night. It does seem like Jeter heats up in August. Last season, he was struggling in the .270 average range until he turned it on in August. He finished at .300.
Marky T drove in all 3 runs yesterday with an RBI groundout and a 2-run homerun.
The Bad
Aceves gave up a couple runs going 2.1 innings in relief. However, he did avoid the big blow when he releived Gaudin in the 5th with 1 out and bases loaded, and got the double play ball.
The Ugly
Cano went 0-3 with 3 strikeouts. Not a good game for him.
Respect Jeter's Gangster is for the Children
The "Respect Jeter's Gangster" blog joined Johnny Damon's home run club, which raises money for the Children's Health Fund. We are pledged to donate $1.00 for every homerun the Yankees hit this season. Marky T hit a roundtripper to put the Yankees ahead for good. MVP anyone?
