Yankees vs Tigers Post Game Recap 8/7
The Yankees were unable to beat the
Tigers in the second game of the series despite a 9th
inning rally losing by a score of 6-5.
Yankees starter Phil Hughes had a
short, and rough start only making it 4.1 innings against the Tigers.
Hughes had a 42 pitch inning which really took its toll on his pitch
count, and effectiveness for the game. Phil allowed eight hits, four
runs, and had three strikeouts in his short night.
The next step for Joba Chamberlain
didn’t go as smooth as he would or the Yankees would have liked on
pitching two days straight. Joba in 0.2 innings allowed two hits, one
walk, and one earned run in the eighth inning.
Miguel Cabrera has become a Yankee
killer hitting another homerun on Tuesday for his 29th of
the season in the 4th inning, and a two-run double in the
5th inning.
Eric Chavez batting 5th in
the order responded with a big game going 2 for 4 with a two-run
homerun in the 4th, and scoring a run in the 9th.
Ichiro also had a good day going 2 for
4 with two RBIs, and his hit his 18th double of the season
in the 9th inning.
The return back to Detroit continues to
be tough for Curtis Granderson going 0-5 again on Tuesday, as he has
gone 0-10 to start the series.
Nick Swisher was able to have a nice 3
for 4 night hitting two doubles for his 25th, and 26th
of the season. Swisher however was only knocked in once despite begin
on base three times.
Yankees will turn to their ace C.C
Sabathia (11-3, 3.53) to stop the skid, as he faces newly acquired
Tiger Anibal Sanchez (1-1, 4.50).
