Yankees Gaining Momentum
It appears as if the Yankees have righted the ship after getting off to a disappointing start against the Orioles and Devil Rays. The Yanks have won two straight against the Twins, and go for the sweep tonight with Mike Mussina on the hill.
What has been the difference in this series? Undeniably, it’s the starting pitching. On Monday, Carl Pavano went seven innings, giving up just two runs. On Tuesday, Andy Pettitte pitched a gem, going 6 innings and holding the Twins scoreless. The Yankee bats have pounded the Twins pitching, scoring 18 runs in two games, thanks in large part to the continued success of Alex Rodriguez, who now has six homeruns in seven games!
The Yankees continue their road trip against Oakland on Friday, and then close out the month with a 3 games series at Fenway against the much-hated Red Sox. Sure, it’s only April, but any time the Yanks and Sox get together it’s sure to be entertaining baseball. Emotions will run high as these teams jockey for position atop the AL East, and I can’t wait.
