Yankees vs Mariners Post Game Recap 8/3
The New York Yankees were able to pick
up the 6-3 win to start the series with the Seattle Mariners behind a
great start from ace C.C Sabathia.
C.C Sabathia was able to throw a
complete game for the second time this year. In his 9 innings of work
Sabathia allowed three hits, one walk, three runs, and had 10
strikeouts. This was also the first time in almost four months that
Sabathia was throwing to Russell Martin instead of the normal Chris
Stewart.
The Yankees lineup saw a different
lead-off hitter on Friday, as Curtis Granderson batted one, and Jeter
moved into the second spot. Granderson the Yankees homerun leader had
a good day in his new spot going 1 for 3 with a walk, run scored, and
two RBIs.
Eric Chavez had a solid game getting
the start at third base going 2 for 4 including hitting his 10th
homerun of the season a two-run shot in the 6th inning off
Mariners starter Kevin Millwood.
Russell Martin getting a rare start
with Sabathia on the hill made the most of it with a good day at the
plate going 2 for 4 scoring two runs, and stealing his third base of
the season.
Yankees will have a tough task ahead on
Saturday, as they face one of the best pitchers in baseball in Felix
Hernandez (9-7, 2.79) as he will face the Yankees Hiroki Kuroda
(10-7, 3.28).
