BLUE JAYS 6



Thursday night at the stadium, the Yankees lost their 6th game in a row, 6-0 at the hands of the Toronto Blue Jays. This was the debut of the most talked about Yankee pitching prospect in years, 20-year old Philip Hughes.


Phil Hughes (0-1) began his career by allowing four runs and seven hits in a 4 1/3-inning effort. Hughes ended up with a 91 pitch effort, and didn’t look as bad as the stats would offer. He had a rough first inning, giving up 2 quick runs…but after that, he settled in and pitched pretty decent. Hughes would go on to strike out 5, and walk only one.


On the other hand…the real pitching story of the night, was Toronto’s veteran A.J. Burnett. Burnett limited the Yankees to four hits over seven shutout innings. The Yankees offense looked horrible, being held to 0 runs, and only 4 hits for the entire game. Giambi had 2 hits, and Cano and A-Rod added one hit each, and the rest of the Yankee lineup was held to goose-eggs.]


Derek Jeter sat out this game due to some soreness in his leg, from being hit by a pitch Tuesday night…but is scheduled to return to action Friday, when the Yankees face the Boston Red Sox. Friday nights matchup will be Andy Pettitte (1-0) vs Daisuke Matsuzaka (2-2).


GAME NOTES:


HUGHES: Pitched decent … bad start, settled in nicely. Looked like he had some good stuff…but the Yanks offense didn’t help him out either. (4.1 IP, 4 ER, 5K, 1 BB)
GIAMBI: 2-3
CANO: 1-3
A-ROD: 1-4
