The New York Yankees dropped the first game of a 3 game set to the Pittsburgh Pirates. Darell Rasner pitched 5 innings giving up 7ER striking out 4. The Yanks had numerous chances against Gorzelanny. Gorzelanny went 6 innings giving up 6 hits 3ER walking 5 striking out 2. The Yanks loaded the bases 2 times against Gorzelanny, and were unable to push a run across. Gorzelanny was very wild he also walked Darell Rasner on 2 separate occasions. He found a way to get out of trouble coming up with timely double plays when he needed to get out of a jam. Latroy Hawkins entered the game in the 6th inning he pitched 2.2 innings giving up 7 hits and 4ER. Latroy Hawkins has been doing nothing except giving the Yankees a better reason to DFA him. The Yankees have a few people who could replace Hawkins (Patterson, Cox, Robertson), time will tell if the Yankees decide to make a move. Edwar Ramierz came in to finish off the game pitching 1/3 of an inning giving up 2 hits, and 1ER. In the 9th inning Betemit got on base on an error and Bobby Abreu crushed a 2 run homer to make the score a little more respectable. The final score 12-5 Pirates.
Notes: J.B. Cox pitched 1 inning coming off the DL for Scranton 0 hits, 0ER, 1K. Cox lowered his ERA to 0.68 in Scranton. The switch pitcher Pat Vennditte pitched a scoreless 9th inning for Staten Island recording his 2nd save 1.0 inning 0hits 0ER 1K. Justin Christian went 2-4 in his first MLB game with 2RBI for the Yankees.
