AJ Burnett and Brain Matusz hook up in yet another series rematch. Last time around, Burnett earned the victory with eight shutout innings, but Matusz pitched well in defeat. The Yankees can probably expect to see a better performance this time around. The lineup features Derek Jeter’s first game as DH as well as Marcus […]

Via Chad Jennings at the LoHud Yankees Blog, Donnie Collins of the Times-Tribune is reporting that Scranton outfielder Greg Golson is in New York awaiting activation by the Yankees.

Randy Winn burst from the shadow of relatively obscurity with a game winning three-run blast that broke a 1-1 deadlock in the fourth inning. Winn’s homer was only his second hit of the season, but could go along way toward garnering him more playing time in the absence of Curtis Granderson. More importantly, it was […]

The Orioles come into the Stadium flying high after a rare weekend sweep of the Boston Red Sox. The first game of the series features a rematch of last Wednesday’s game in Baltimore, when C.C.

Before today’s game, the Yankees announced that Javier Vazquez’ next start in Fenway park will be skipped. The decision does not come as much of a surprise, and the logic behind it is very sound. Whether you believe Vazquez’ problems are mental or mechanical, it stands to reason that he could benefit from a rest. Presumably, […]

Posted in Baseball, Game Recap, MLB, Yankees on May 2, 2010 | 3 Comments »
A day after the Kentucky Derby, everything came up roses for the Yankees. Phil Hughes busted out of the gate with the same mid-90s fastball that has allowed him dominate in the early going. Once again, Hughes pounded the strike zone by throwing 69 of his 99 pitches for strikes. He mostly used a well located fastball and […]
