Moose Shuts Down Rays
The Yankees lost 11 of 19 against the Devil Rays last year, but this year looks different.
Mike Mussina took the mound and was spectacular; after the first inning...
The only run was a Johnny Gomes solo shot to give the Rays a quick 1-0 lead, but things changed for the best.
Yankees made a comeback with three runs thanks in part by Derek Jeter's two-run home run.
Not done yet as the Yanks added another run on the board in the fourth due to Johnny Damon's sac fly.
In the sixth, four more runs came across thanks to a huge two-run double.
Mussina left after the seventh inning and one hit later, allowing only four hits in his start. He joins four other pitchers with quality starts in all of his outings so far this season. He also leads the American League in most 1-2-3 innings through the season with 17.
Taynon Sturtz, Ron Villone, and Scott Proctor each went an inning to close out the game.
Final Score:
Yankees 9, Devil Rays 1
Players of the Game:
Derek Jeter went 3-5 with three RBI including a home run and a double.
Mike Mussina three seven innings, allowed four hits and one earned run.
Up Next:
Devil Rays @ Yankees
Chein-Ming Wang (1-1, 5.48 ERA) vs. Seth McClung (1-3, 10.90 ERA)
Red Sox Update:
Sox defeat the Indians in a true playoff-like game.
Steroid Update:
Barry Bonds hits his 710th home run and winces before he rounds third, hello DL, hello more "medicinal" steroids.
