Yankee Bats Come Alive Against Blue Jays, Pitching Stays Asleep

The Good

Johnny Damon had quite the offensive game last night going 3-5 with a homerun and 3 RBI's. Swisher also had a homerun and a 2-5 night, and Cano hit two doubles. Hughes and Robertson each had an inning of work with two strikeouts a piece, and no runs.

The Bad

Aceves pitched well in relief, but gave up a solo homerun that takes away some of the sweetness.

The Ugly

Mitre went 4.1 innings allowing 3 runs. His ERA is at 7.50. Do we not have anyone better?

Respect Jeter's Gangster is for the Children
