Ho-hum, the Yankees win another series. But what made last night's 3-2 win against the Oakland A's interesting was that Chad Gaudin started, allowing no runs and one hit, but only pitched 4 1/3 innings. He was removed by Joe Girardi, later citing his pitch count (91), largely due to his five walks, as the reason he was taken out and not because he loaded the bases.
Alfredo Aceves relieved him and quickly induced a 1-2-3 double play to end Oakland's threat.
The Yankees were up 3-0 thanks to an RBI groundout and two-run home run from Mark Teixeira who is now at 89 RBI on the season.
After Aceves got out of the fifth inning, he allowed a solo home run to Jack Cust in the sixth and gave up three hits (including an RBI single from Mark Ellis) before being removed. Phil Coke, Phil Hughes and Mariano Rivera combined to record the final seven outs of the game, with the latter earning his 36th save.
The Yankees are off today before beginning a three-game series in Boston tomorrow.

I can understand why Gaudin was upset when taken out, but I don't like the way he acted. Gaudin; you're a New York Yankee. Act it.
I agree with Bronx bomber. You are a Yankee, so act like it. Also, what are your predictions for the Boston series?
Sweet blog. I really like it. I am new to blogging and just started a Yankee blog. Let me know if you have any advice. It would be much apprediated. Thanks.
