Bartolo Colon allows four hits and gets his first complete game since July 5, 2006. Who would have thought that the first complete game shutout of the season would be by Bartolo Colon? He was absolutely dealing as all of his pitches seemed to be working as he was hitting the corners and keeping the [...]

Tonight was another game against a powerful righty. Today was Felix Hernandez and like Pineda yesterday, he did not have his best stuff. The Mariners stretched King Felix for 7 innings on 128 pitches and he gave up 4 runs, much more than we have been able to do in the past 4 encounters with [...]

The first game of the West Coast road trip was a matchup of power arms lacking control. A.J. Burnett and the young righty Michael Pineda each walked 5 in 5. Mark Teixeira accounted for 2 of the 3 hits, including a solo home run in the 1st. A.J. Burnett escaped self-made jams with walks by [...]

Andruw Jones got the start because there was a lefty on the mound and he’s being paid to hit when the lefty pitches. This afternoon, he earned his money with two home runs to help the Yankees take the series with the Blue Jays. Mariano Rivera made his 1,000th appearance but it was more notable [...]

Curtis Granderson had a big night going 4 for 5 and driving in the tying run and becoming the winning run. Mark Teixeira was the recipient of the walk-off pie. Russell Martin also hit his 9th home run of the season. CC Sabathia went the complete game and kept the Jays shut down after a [...]

Hitting with runners in scoring position has been one of the biggest flaws in our game this season. The Yankees addressed that in today’s finale of the Subway Series in the Bronx. The Yankees went 5 for 10 with runners in scoring position today and had an 8-run 7th inning without a home run. Prior [...]

The Mets had the hot bat of Justin Turner as he went 3 for 4 with 2 doubles. The home run of Daniel Murphy’s that just landed inside the short porch of right field was the game-winning home run. The lone run of the Yankees came on the solo home run of Mark Teixeira. The [...]

The Yankees opened the game quickly with a double by Jeter, a triple by Granderson, and a ground out by Teixeira made it 2-0. With 2 outs, Robinson Cano was hit in the back of the leg by a pitch and that started what ended up being a 5-run 1st inning. The Yankees never looked [...]

Alex Rodriguez had the hot bat in Tampa as he delivered two solo home runs. David Robertson entered the game with the bases loaded to relieve Ivan Nova and struck out B.J. Upton and Kelly Shoppach in a huge moment of the game. With the 6-game losing streak, Girardi chose to not take any chances [...]

Curtis Granderson achieved a feat that was only reached by one other, hitting a home run off of David Price as a lefty batter. This and a two-run single by Eduardo Nunez seemed like the oddities that indicated the tides have turned and the five-game losing streak had reached its end. Unfortunately 6 L’s can’t [...]
