After suffering through a roller coaster of emotions in the past 24 hours or so, Yankees fans have something to celebrate because the boys snapped a three game losing streak behind strong pitching by CC Sabathia and a four run seventh inning by the offense.
Hallelujah!
And yes, it took them awhile to get something substantial going against Bruce Chen but the saying is better late than never, right?
What a seventh inning it was with Eduardo Nunez hitting an RBI triple to score Robinson Cano, Chris Stewart following up with an RBI single and old man Derek Jeter hitting a two run home run.
Jeter now has five home runs this season – he had two total and is batting .404.
Mark Teixeira put the Yankees on the board in the first with a two run home run off Chen but the Yankees were stymied by Chen until that seventh inning.
CC Sabathia won his fourth game of the season with eight strong innings of work. He gave up the two runs on seven hits, he struck out five and didn’t walk a batter. David Robertson came in to pitch the ninth and struck out the side. In fact, Robertson threw 15 pitches, 11 for strikes.
