The Good
Joba stood up for 4 innings and only allowed 1 run, a homerun by Vlad, and who doesn't give up a homerun to Vlad? Swisher and Cano went 2-4 with Swisher hitting a homerun. Aceves went 2.1 innings and allowed 1 run in relief. Mariano Rivera recorded his 40th save of the season. Teixeira went 3-4 with a triple and 2 RBI's.
Lastly, the fleet footed Brett Gardner stole third and scored on an error to break the tie the Yankees were in. Cano then went and drove in another run to put the Yankees ahead 5-3, but it was Gardner's fleet footedness that gave us that win. Cheers to Gardner!
The Bad
Phil Hughes came in the 8th and recorded both a blown save and a win. He gave up a run, allowing the Angels to tie, but then the Yankee offense got it back.
The Ugly
Teixeira was a homerun short of the cycle, and batting lefty at Yankee stadium, how did he not hit one? Marky T needs to think about what he did.
