Because I barely remember what happened in the early innings (besides CC Sabathia having another mediocre start), I’m not going to write a full recap.

Sabathia, as I said, was mediocre, at best.  He had another start where his walks outnumbered his strikeouts.  He walked four and struck out two in 6 2/3 innings, allowing seven runs  (six earned).  His ERA now stands at 4.81.

Melky Cabrera hit home runs from both sides of plate, including the two-run walk-off home run in the 14th inning.  Hideki Matsui and Derek Jeter also had home runs.

Jose Veras was fantastic during his 3 1/3 innings of relief, retiring the final 10 batters he faced.

The Yankees have an off-day tomorrow before traveling to Boston for three games beginning on Friday.
