Yankees vs Red Sox Post Game Recap 7/27
The New York Yankees fresh off a tough
west coast trip were able to pick up a 10-3 win over the rival
Boston Red Sox to start their home stand on a positive note, and
shockingly the game was finished in under three hours a rare
happening in a Yankees Red Sox game.
Phil Hughes was able to get his 10th
win of the season making him the 4th Yankee starter to
have double digit wins. Hughes had a very good start going seven
innings allowing three runs, five hits, one walk, and had five
strikeouts. The only concern about Phil's start would be the three
homeruns he allowed, but they however were all solo shots.
Curtis Granderson was able to have a
monster game on Friday night going 3 for 5 with two runs scored, four
RBIs, and hit his 28th homerun of the season a grand slam
in the 8th inning putting the dagger into the Red Sox.
Yankees left fielder Raul Ibanez also
like Granderson had a big game against the Red Sox going 1 for 2 with
a two-run homerun in the 3rd inning for his 13th
of the season, and added two walks as well.
Russell Martin might finally have
something going, as he went 1 for 3 hitting his 11th
homerun of the season in the 4th inning, and also scored
another run after drawing a walk.
MVP candidate Robinson Cano kept on
doing more of the same going 2 for 5, and saw his batting average hit
the .320 mark.
Ichiro Suzuki received a warm welcome
in his first game at his new home in the Bronx, and went 1 for 4 with
two runs scored.
Yankees will be looking for another win
over the Red Sox on Saturday as C.C Sabathia (10-3, 3.30) will be
facing the struggling Jon Lester (5-8, 5.46).
