Franchise Phil Has A Good Start
I really wanted to watch the game last night, but was unable to due to a pressing chemistry exam. And, while i was working out -b plus or minus the square root of b squared minus 4(a)(c) all divided by 2 (a) just to determine the equilibrium constant of the methylation reaction, the Yankees were facing a formidable opponent as well.
A combination of Blue Jay pitching and cold weather have certainly contributed to a shortage of Yankee hits. In the end however, the Yankees worked out a winning three game series, and it looks like last nights 3-2 win was a good game.
Hughes got the N.D. last night, but looked great, especially in light of the pressure of high expectations. Hughes was certainly a considered trade in the off season, and keeping him around in spite of Johan Santana's availability says a lot about what the front office is working on. He sat down the first nine out of twenty-three batters he faced, and gave up two earned runs on four hits.
The Yankees scored two runs in the sixth inning and one in the eighth on an Abreu RBI single to edge out the Jays' two runs from the fourth and fifth.
Joba Chamberlain was awarded the win, and pitched a no run inning in the eighth, setting up for Mo Rivera to pick up his second save in the ninth.
Yankees 3, Jays 2
