I knew going into the game that it would be tough. But, little did I know that Doc would throw a complete game 5 hitter while allowing only one run. He improved to 7-1 on the young season. Burnett, on the other hand, looked dominant through the first three innings of the game. It all fell apart in the 4th as he allowed three runs.
The Yankee offense couldn't muster anything against Halladay. If you take away Damon's two hits and A-Rod's rbi single, then the Yankees only had two hits in 21 at-bats. Teixeira continues to struggle, as does Swisher and Cano. Cabrera and Pena continue to hit well this season. Both have been pleasant surprises this year.
Tomorrow, the Yankees hope to start a win streak again as Andy Pettitte starts against Scott Richmond, a 29 year-old righty whose destined for a return to normalcy form his stellar 3.29
era.
