YANKEES 1
RANGERS 2

Monday night at the Stadium, the Yankees lost a low scoring affair to the Texas Rangers, 2-1. Mike Mussina pitched an impressive game against the top offensive team in the league, holding them to only 2 runs.

Mike Mussina gave up just two runs on five hits in six innings, and he racked up eight strikeouts against the top hitting team in the league. Mussina looked sharp, and pitched well enough for the Yankees to win the game…but once again the offense did not show up. The relief trio of Edwar Ramirez, Jose Veras and Dan Giese surrendered just two hits and didn’t give up any runs through three innings.

The Yankees lone run camer on an Alex Rodriguez solo home run over the left-center-field wall to put the Yankees on the scoreboard in the fourth inning. The homer was No. 534 for A-Rod’s career, which tied Jimmie Foxx for 14th place on the all-time list. Unfortunately, this was the only run to score for the Yankees on the evening. Jason Gimabi hit a triple in the game, giving the Yanks a chance to tie the game, but he was stranded on third base.

In Game 2 of the series, the Yankees will send out Joba Chamberlain to the mound.

GAME NOTES:
MUSSINA: 6IP, 5H, 2ER, 8SO
AROD: 1-3, HR, RBI
