Yanks Destroy Jays
I guess the Yankees read my blog last night because something happened, they won! By a lot!
Johnny Damon hit two home runs, Jason Giambi had a huge blast, and one final one by Jorge Posada.
The Blue Jays started out with two runs in the first inning but was quickly nullified when Jason Giambi hit a three-run shot in the third deck.
In the second, Damon hit one of his two home runs to widen the lead to 5-2 only to be tied again by the Jays with back-to-back-to-back doubles off starter Randy Johnson.
Yankees scored two more in the third thanks to a double by Posada.
Damon hit his second home run in the fourth to give the Yankees a 9-5 lead.
One inning later the Yankees made it 11-5 in a messy fifth.
Posada hit his home run in the sixth and after a three-run seventh, the Yankees had a commanding 16-6 lead.
Gary Sheffield was taken out of the game in the sixth after colliding with first baseman Shea Hillenbrand and is considered day-to-day.
If you have been paying attention to this post, you would note that the Yankees scored in every inning, the first time since they defeated the St. Louis Browns back on July 26, 1939 and the sixth ever American League team.
Final Score:
Yankees 17, Blue Jays 6
Player of the Game:
Johnny Damon went 3-5 with two home runs, five runs scored, 3 RBI, and a stolen base.
