YANKEES 2
TIGERS 6

Wednesday night at the Stadium, the Yankees dropped another game to the Detroit Tigers, 6-2. Andy Pettitte was cruising along until the 5th inning, when Marcus Thames hit a 2 run homer, and then in the 6th inning, Polanco added another homerun.

Andy Pettitte (3-3) worked six innings, scattering seven hits while walking one and striking out three. Pettitte gave up 5 earned runs, which was unusual because he usually dominates the Detroit Tigers.
In relief, Kyle Farnsowrth gave up a homerun (WHAT A SHOCKER!!!).

Offensively, the Yankees looked good in the first inning, and then that was it. Johnny Damon led off with a double and Derek Jeter singled before a walk and a flyout loaded the bases with one out. Jason Giambi lifted a sacrifice fly to left to score the first run and Melky Cabrera stroked a run-scoring single, one of two hits on the evening, to give New York an early 2-0 lead. After that, the Yankees would only get another 2 hits, and remain scoreless.

Thursday night, the Yankees will try to avoid being swept by the Tigers, when they send Ian Kennedy to the mound. oh BOY!!

GAME NOTES:
PETTITTE: 6IP, 7H, 5ER, 3SO
CABRERA: 2-4, 2RBI
