Last Night in New York Sports

Yankees-6 Indians-3

The Yankees finished off their series against the Indians with a solid 3 run victory. Thanks to home runs by Jason Giambi, Johnny Damon, Robinson Cano, and Wilson Betemit the Yankees powered their way to victory. The Bombers went up 3-0 in the 4th after Johnny Damon and Jason Giambi hit their home runs, but Mike Mussina gave the lead right back in the 5th, in part due to Bobby Abreu's terrible fielding effort. Yet the Yankees answered right back with a Damon RBI double and they did not look back. The bullpen pitched very well, combining for 4 innings of 2 hit ball, including a solid inning from Joba Chamberlain, who struck out his tormentor from earlier in the week, David Delluci, to end the 8th. This was a very positive game for the Yankees offensively as Giambi hit two shots, one caught near the warning track, and Robinson Cano went 2 for 3 which could potentially signal the end of his cold start to the season.
