The Yankees and Angels played a game of full contact baseball that ended with a loud bang by Kendry Morales.

Déjà Hughes: Yankees Righty Flirts With No Hitter

For the second time this season, a Yankee pitcher flirted with a no hitter, but came up short in the 8th. Unlike Sabathia’s earlier attempt, however, Phil Hughes’ pitch count was a much more manageable 88 when the A’s finally broke through, so there would have been no question about his ability to finish the […]
