Cano, Mo, and 1 to Go

The Yankees and Baltimore Orioles have been waging baseball battles since last October's pitching dominant American League Division Series. With a chance to make the playoffs this season on the line, the current four games series between the two teams comes emotionally close to the last Fall's nail biters. Wednesday night the Yankees rallied from a 3-1 deficit to beat the O's 5-4 in a game that had fans of both teams on edge at the end of the game.

Coupled with Tampa Bay's 10 inning loss to Boston (On a Mike Carp pinch-hit grand slam), the Yankees sit one game in back of the Rays for the second wild card spot. Cleveland lost earlier in the day to Kansas City, so once again the Yankees only have the Rays in front of them. Thursday is the finale of the Orioles series with Phil Hughes pitted against Wei-Yin Chen.

Andy Pettitte gutted out six innings plus one batter in the 7th to keep the game tied 3-3 after Curtis Granderson and Alex Rodriguez hit solo home runs in consecutive innings (5th, 6th) to even things up. The game remained tied until the 9th when Robinson Cano blasted a Tommy Hunter pitch on to Eutaw St. for a 4-3 Yankees lead.

The Yankees added a huge insurance run when Adam Jones couldn't run down a catchable ball driven deep to center by Granderson. The Chicago native raced to third with a stand up triple and scored on Lyle Overbay's infield single off of Troy Patton. Yes, you read that correctly; Overbay beat the throw from shortstop J.J. Hardy after he hit one in the hole on the left side of the infield.

The extra run proved vital after Mariano Rivera ran into trouble after he easily retired the first two batters in the 9th inning. Rivera, who had gotten a four out save on Wednesday, gave up a two-out double to Nate McLouth and Brian Roberts delivered him with an RBI single. The Yankees got a break in that Roberts is not the major base stealing threat he once was. Rivera then struck out Manny Machado to pick up his 43rd save of the season.

Notes

Chris Stewart made a big play in the 7th when he gunned down McLouth trying to steal second base after he drew a lead off walk from Pettitte.

Scott Feldman got a tough no decision after he allowed three runs on just three hits in 7.1 innings pitched.

Bad Backs and Boos in the Bronx

Pettitte Can’t Get His Back Into It

WP - Feldman (5-0) SV - Francisco (12) LP - Pettitte (5-2)

Andy Pettitte told anyone who would listen that his back was good. Anyone who watched him pitch last night thought otherwise. Pettitte’s back pain-induced performance, and some big time failures in the clutch by Alex Rodriguez, contributed to the Yankees 4-2 loss to the Texas Rangers on a soggy Wednesday night in the Bronx.

Pettitte’s physical issues became apparent any time he had to run to cover first base and when he issued six walks in just four innings pitched. He was charged with all four Rangers runs and lost for just the second time this season. A-Rod’s night started well with an RBI single in the 1st inning, but went downhill from there. He hit into an inning ending double play with the bases loaded in the 3rd, struck out with a man on third and less than two outs in the 6th, and after the Yankees cut the Rangers lead in half, struck out swinging in the 8th with a man aboard. It led to the first real boos A-Rod has heard at the Stadium this season.

Pettitte’s problems started from the get-go. He walked Ian Kinsler to lead off the ball game and gave up back to back 1-out singles to Andruw Jones and Nelson Cruz to put Texas on top 1-0. Another walk to David Murphy loaded the bases and the Rangers brought in two more runs on Marlon Byrd’s RBI ground and a single by Chris Davis. The Yankees got a huge break when Byrd tried to go from first to third on Davis’ single and was gunned down by right fielder Melky Cabrera to end the inning.

A-Rod wasn’t the only Yankee with an off night at the plate. Rangers starter Scott Feldman improved to 5-0 by limiting the Yankees to 5 hits in 6.1 innings pitched. He countered 3 walks with 5 strikeouts and made the big pitches when he needed too.

It also helped Feldman that the Yankees were without Mark Teixeira, who was scratched from the original lineup. The Yankees’ first baseman bruised his right ankle on the, now famous, take out slide of Elvis Andrus on Tuesday night. Nick Swisher played first base and hit second in the lineup, and scored the Yankees first run on A-Rod’s single after he reached on a 1-out double in the 1st inning.

The Rangers aggressive base running led to another run in the 2nd. Andrus singled and went to second on Pettitte’s errant pick-off throw (new streak - 2 straight games with an error). He then stole 3rd base and came home on Kinsler’s single to right for a 4-1 Rangers lead.

Jorge Posada hit a laser into the right field seats in the 7th for his 8th home run of the year, but that would be all the scoring for the Yankees on the night.

Game Notes

Derek Jeter went 0-4, including a pair of strikeouts, to end his 16-game hitting streak.

Mark Teixeira hopes to be back in the lineup for today’s finale of the 3-game series. The 1:05 p.m. ET start will see Chien-Ming Wang (0-3, 16.47) make his first start since April 18. He’ll be opposed by Brandon McCarthy (5-2, 4.35), who is 2-1, 2.21 in his last four starts.

Yankees infield prospect Reegie Corona has been demoted to Double-A Trenton after hitting .147 average in 17 games with Scranton.

Jorge Posada took quite a shot in the rib cage and back when he was hit on the backswing by Nelson Cruz. The Rangers were attempting a double steal at the time and Posada started to come up from his crouch to make a throw. Both runners were sent back, but no out was recorded since it was ruled unintentional interference. Posada was in a lot of discomfort, but stayed in the game.

Moose Plays the Hero

Mike Mussina continued to save the Yankees season tonight with another superb performance in defeating the Texas Rangers 3-0. Mussina won his 265th career game and 15th of this season in a "now you hit me, now you don't" evening. He scattered 8 hits over 7 innings, allowing a base runner in every inning but his last. He used a pair of double plays and his own good defense to help thwart a number of Texas rallies, before turning things over to the bullpen- which dominated the final two innings.

Meanwhile, the Yankees couldn't muster offense against rookie Scott Feldman, who defeated the Bomberless Bombers back on June 30 at Yankee Stadium. Derek Jeter hit his first home run since July 21 to give the Yankees a 1-0 lead in the first inning.

After putting two men aboard in the 2nd, Robinson Cano , who would have three hits, bounced into a rally-killing double play. An Alex Rodriguez twin killing negated a Bobby Abreu single in the fourth, as A-Rod remained hitless for Texas.

But Mussina was getting double play grounders as well. Frank Catalanotto reached on a one out single in the first inning, but Mussina got Michael Young to hit a comebacker that started a 1-6-3 DP. In the second inning, a Marlon Byrd double and a single by Brandon Boggs put runners on the corner with one out, but Gerald Laird grounded to Jeter for the start of another inning-ending double play. Moose also struck out Young with two aboard to end the third.

The Yankees finally tacked a run on against Feldman in the fifth when Johnny Damon singled in Wilson Betemit. Mussina's defense then kept the Rangers off the board in the sixth. Marlon Byrd reached on a one out double, but was caught off second base on Boggs' comebacker to Mussina. Byrd was retired in a run down and the Rangers ran themselves out of the inning completely when Boggs was nailed trying to reach second base as Byrd was caught.

Brian Bruney and Damaso Marte retired the Rangers in order in the 8th, and the Yankees added an insurance run in the ninth. Cano lead off with a double, but was thrown out trying to advance on a comebacker to reliever Jamey Wright. Then some poor defense helped the Yankees out. Ian Kinsler fielded Jose Molina's grounder, but instead of starting a 4-6-3 DP, he threw to 1st base. Betemit wisely stepped off the bag and returned since the force was off. Back to back singles by Damon and Jeter brought Betemit around, though Jeter was nailed trying to advance to second to end the inning.

Mariano Rivera came on in the 9th and made quick work of the Rangers, retiring the side in order on just 8 pitches. He earned his 28th save in as many chances.


News and Notes

Mike Mussina became the seventh pitcher to top 3,500 innings in his career and also went over the 200 inning mark for the first time since 2003. His 15-7 record matches his final numbers for 2006. It is also the 11th time in his career that Mussina has won at least 15 games.

Yankees Fall Flat to Rangers

It's one thing when you get beaten by Oliver Perez. It's another when the Scott Feldman and the Texas Rangers hold you to one run. That's exactly what happened last night when the Yankees wasted another good start from Mike Mussina and lost to the Rangers 2-1.

Mussina was excellent again, pitching on short rest after his start against the Pittsburgh Pirates last Thursday was called after 2 innings. He limited the Rangers to 5 hits in 6 innings of work and struck out 8, including Milton Bradley three times (Bradley would later get the Golden Sombrero).

But the Yankees couldn't must anything against Feldman save for a solo home run by Alex Rodriguez that rocketed in the Monuments area in left-center field. The Yankees only had 3 more hits off of Feldman in 3.2 innings and none the remainder of the game against the Rangers pen.

The Yankees had the first chance to score when Alex Rodriguez and Jason Giambi drew back to back walks to start the 2nd inning. But Jorge Posada flied out and Robinson Cano and Melky Cabrera both grounded out. The Rangers took advantage of the good fortune and broke the scoreless tie in the 3rd.

Ian Kinsler, who leads the American League in extra base hits, stroked a 1-out double, and two baters later, came home on Josh Hamilton's RBI single. It was Hamilton's major league leading 80th ribbie.

The Rangers scored what proved to be the game winner in the 4th, when rookie David Murphy walked, moved to 2nd base on Marlon Byrd's slow grounder, and came home on rookie Chris Davis' double to the gap in right-center.

A-Rod's 534th career home run came with one out in the 4th and the Yankees later put the tying run on 2nd base when Posada doubled with two outs. But Cano grounded out to Michael Young at shortstop to preserve the lead.

The Yankees also stranded the tying run at 2nd in the 6th, after Brett Gardner picked up his first career stolen base, and at 3rd base in the 7th when Jason Giambi tripled with two outs. But Derek Jeter and Posada both failed in those clutch situations.

C.J. Wilson retired the Yankees without incident in the 9th to extend the Bomberless Bombers losing streak to two games. They've also lost 5 out of their last 7 games.


News and Notes

Derek Jeter's streak of 29 straight games of reaching safely ended with an 0-4 night.

Josh Hamilton's 80 RBI are the most at the end of June since Carlos Delgado, then of the Blue Jays, had 89 in 2003.

Brett Gardner was 0-3 with a stolen base in his MLB debut and showed off his blazing speed. He was removed for pinch-hitter Johnny Damon in the 8th inning.

Jason Giambi's triple was the 9th of his career.

Mike Mussina is 0-2 in his last 2 starts, despite allowing just 6 earned runs in 14 innings pitched. He's struck out 12 in the two games combined. Last night's start was the 519th of his career.
