How about watching Phil Hughes dominate in relief like Joba Chamberlain did? Hmmm…
Phil Coke also pitched capably in the eighth inning, providing a sturdy bridge for Mariano Rivera who recorded his 14th save of the season in the Yankees’ 5-3 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays. They are now 34-23 and have the best record in the AL, pending the outcome of the Rangers/Blue Jays game.
The Yankees hit four home runs (Mark Teixeira, Nick Swisher, Johnny Damon and Derek Jeter), Andy Pettitte struck out seven in six innings for his sixth victory of the season and the Yankees have won their fourth series in a row.
The Yankees travel to Boston for a three-game series that begins tomorrow. As you may recall, the Yankees are 0-5 against the Red Sox this season. A.J. Burnett and Josh Beckett start the opener.
