Yankees vs Blue Jays Post Game Recap
8/28
The Yankees were able to bounce back
from a tough loss on Monday with a win on Tuesday over the Blue Jays
beating them by a score of 2-1.
Phil Hughes looked really good in
earning his 13th win of the season. Hughes went seven
innings allowing four hits, three walks, one run, and had 5
strikeouts. Hughes was able to reach a career milestone with his
final strikeout in the 7th inning it was his 500th
of his career.
Rafael Soriano was able to have a
bounce back night after his blown save on Monday. Soriano looked on
point and was lighting up the radar gun striking out two batters, and
earned his 34th save of the season.
Nick Swisher getting the start at first
base for the injured Teixeira was able to keep his bat hot going 1
for 3 with a RBI base hit, and a walk.
Newly reacquired Steve Pearce played
his first game in the majors for the Yankees after playing in the
minors for them earlier in the season. Pearce was thrown into the
cleanup spot showing how weak the Yankees order can be against
lefties. He wasn’t able to get a hit going 0 for 2 with a walk, and
run scored.
Jayson Nix got the start at third base
due to a lefty pitching and Casey McGehee being sent down until
September call ups, and was able to go 2 for 3 with a run scored.
Yankees will be looking to take the
rubber game on Thursday afternoon, as C.C Sabathia (13-3, 3.44) will
face J.A Happ (2-1, 4.15).
