Yankees - Rangers / Debut of Brett Gardner


Brett "The Hitman" Gardner makes his MLB debut for the Yankees tonight against the Texas Rangers. He is batting lead off and playing left field in his first MLB game. I have been waiting for some time for the Yankees to give Gardner a chance. I have seen him play a good amount of times (he's got wheels). Many MLB scouts say that he has been ready to play in the MLB for a few months. In Scranton he had a .287 average 3HR 29RBI 34 stolen bases. Mussina makes the start tonight for the Yankees against Scott Feldman. Mussina in his last 3 games is 1-1 22.0 innings 3.68ERA 2 walks 11K's. His last start was cut short against the Pirates, but in that game he gave up one run in 2 innings. Scott Feldman in his last 3 games is 0-1 with 16.0 innings pitched 5.63ERA 7 walks 7K's. Feldman in his last start only went 4.0 innings giving up 6 hits 2ER 2 walks 2K's picking up a no decision against the Astros. It should be a very fun game tonight stay tuned for updates.

Notes: Alfredo Aceves was put on the 7 day DL with a slight groin strain, he will make his next scheduled start for Scranton. Humberto Sanchez pitched 1.0 inning on Friday for the GCL Yankees giving up 1 hit, and striking out 1.
