Last Night's Action: Sweep!

  • Yankees 4 Tampa Bay 1: The Yankees won a pitcher’s duel in the first game of their doubleheader Monday. C.C. Sabathia went seven-strong, but he did not collect the win because Matt Garza matched him frame for frame. But, the Yankees broke through in the eighth, turning a 1-1 game into a 4-1 win. Robinson Cano hit a sac fly to make it 2-1. Jorge Posada and Eric Hinske both added RBI’s. That’s all Mariano Rivera needed as he pitched for the first time since September 1st and nailed down his 39th save.

  • Yankees 9, Orioles 4: Derek Jeter, who is well on his way to 3,000 hits, picked up career hit #2,500 last night in his team's victory. But it wasn't Jeter that propelled the team to victory, but 6 runs in the 8th and 9th innings that put the Yankees on top of the O's. The Yankees had back-to-back home runs by Robinson Cano and Jose Molina as well as Cody Ransom and Xavier Nady.

  • Yankees 13, Orioles 3: The Joba Chamberlain starting experiment continues to go well, and Bobby Abreu continued his second-half surge. To boot, right after the game, the Yankees announced they had picked up Ivan Rodriguez from the Tigers in exchange for Kyle Farnsworth. That's an improvement over Jose Molina. The Orioles are the worst team in the American League East, but they have had the Yankees' number this year. Not Wednesday. Abreu homered twice. Rodriguez added a homer late. Chamberlain went six innings and allowed only one earned run, striking out six and, more importantly, walking none.
  • Red Bulls 2, Galaxy 2: A fabulous goal by Juan Pablo Angel went to waste when Landon Donovan scored an LA equalizer in the 92nd minute. Settling for a draw stinks, New York will tell you.

  • Yankees 8 Houston 4: So far, a trip to Houston seems just like what the Yankees needed. Down 3-0 early, New York stormed back to win the game. Alex Rodriguez got the Yankees onto the board with a home run to right that got some assistance from an Astros’ fan who got his glove in the way. Jose Molina provided a huge double in the third that gave New York a 5-3 lead.

  • Shock 72, Liberty 62: Imagine how ugly this game would have looked if the Liberty didn't outscore Detroit by 15 in the fourth quarter. This game was over from the start as Detroit cruised to 19-6 lead at the end of the first. Tiffany Jackson had 12 points in the loss.
  • Red Bulls 2, Earthquakes 0: A Mike Magaee penalty in the 79th minute -- set up by Jozy Altidore -- and a goal in the 95th minute by Altidore himself gave the Red Bulls the win. They're 2-1-1 on the young season.
  • With all the talk in the past week of the Yankees' lowering themselves -- by starting a fight and by allowing a 59-year-old Billy Crystal to take an at-bat -- cynics Tuesday had a tough time knocking the Yankees down another peg. That's because the team flew up to Blacksburg, Va., site of Virginia Tech and the shootings that took place April 16, 2007. While there, players and coaches viewed the memorial and won an exhibition game against the Hokies, 11-0.
