Photo: dailynews.comI apologize to all the Yankees' fans who read the previous publication which was pessimistic, but there were more arguments to be made that the Yankees weren't going to defeat Roy Halladay, who had a 18-6 record and a 2.84 ERA against the 'Bombers' before Tuesday's game.
However, the Yankees beat Halladay and the Philadelphia Phillies 8-3 in the opening of this interleague series at Yankee Stadium, which some people called a rematch of the 2009 World Series. The real revenge for the Phillies will be gotten on the Yanks if both teams meet again in another Fall Classic...
Tuesday's game had a lot of variety: three homeruns allowed by Halladay, a struggling Halladay, a dominant CC Sabathia and a struggling Sabathia.
The righty pitcher of the Phillies had earned one homerun in his previous 62 innings, but Curtis Granderson (1 RBI), Nick Swisher (2 RBI), and Mark Teixeira (1 RBI) hit enormous shots. Three jacks over Halladay by the Yankees were also seen last year, on August.
Last Tuesday the Yankees were a nightmare for Halladay because they scored six runs against him. It's a high number due to his previous four outings in which he allowed three runs over 24 innings and also because April 30th, 2000 was the last time New York registered that number facing him.
The Yanks' offense started producing in the second when Brett Gardner tripled and drove in two teammates. The following inning Granderson and Swisher's homeruns surged the scoreboard to an strange 5-0. Science fiction!
A 5-0 score is a big advantage when you face Halladay, but Sabathia, who got six of the first nine outs with strike outs, had an awful slump and the Phillies scored three times in the fourth. Chase Utley's hit kicked CC's left hand and the Phillies' bats came back to Yankee Stadium. Placido Polanco singled, Ryan Howard got on base as a result of a hit by pitch, Jason Werth and Raul Ibañez batted RBI singles, and Ben Francisco got a productive forced out. Francisco was the first batter retired and two runners were in scoring position, but the Yankees starter controlled the situacion facing Juan Castro and Carlos Ruiz.
Teixeira shored Sabathia up with his solo blast in the fifth after the Phillies threatened again in the top of that inning. The bases were also loaded like in the fourth. It could be a tragedy for the pitcher and the team, but it was not the first time we saw CC overcoming.
The seventh was the last inning for Sabathia (5 H, 3 ER, 3 BB, 7 SO), and also a good offense moment because two runs were batted in by Francisco Cervelli, who got a single.
Huge victory! Now is time to win again! Wednesday, second game: Jamie Moyer (6-6, 5.03) vs. AJ Burnett (6-4, 3.86).
MLB results: June 15
Phillies 3 - Yankees 8
Dodgers 12 - Reds 0. Orlando Cabrera, 0-1, two BB.
Orioles 4 - Giants 1. We hope Edgar Renteria come back soon. It's possible, he is playing in the Triple-A.
Diamondbacks 3 - Red Sox 6
Rays 10 - Braves 4
Mariners 2 - Cardinals 4
Mets 7 - Indians 6
Astros 7 - Royals 15
Rockies 3 - Twins 9
Rangers 3 - Marlins 2
Nationals 4 - Tigers 7
White Sox 6 - Pirates 4
Blue Jays 2 - Padres 8

Standings.

Let's go Yankees!
¡Por la lucha XXVIII! ¡Todos a portar el 28!
