Relief pitcher Joba Chamberlain gave up a three run home run to David Dellucci in the eighth inning as the Yankees lost to the Indians by the score of 5-3 on Tuesday night.  Chamberlain who is usually lights out is now 1-2 on the season.

Yankees starting pitcher Andy Pettitte pitched 6 1/3 innings as he gave up five hits and two runs.  Pettitte pitched well enough to win the game and probably should have if Chamberlain wouldn’t have had bad control and gave up the three run home run.

Jason Giambi had two RBI at the plate for the Yankees and Robinson Cano had one RBI in the game.

With the loss, the Yankees record dropped to the .500 mark at 17-17 on the season.

The New York Yankees lost to the Detroit Tigers on Thursday night by the score of 8-4.  It was the third straight loss for the Yankees who were swept by the Tigers in their three game series.  The Yankees have now lost six of their last eight games.

Ian Kennedy got roughed up in his 4.2 innings of action.  Kennedy gave up five hits and four runs while he struckout one batter and walked three others.  Jonathan Albaladejo tried to slow down the bleeding but was unable to do so as he gave up four runs and six hits in only 1.2 innings.  Chris Britton pitched the final 2.2 innings and held the Tigers scoreless but it was just to late for the Yankees.

At the plate for the Yankees, Bobby Abreu connected for a three run home run in the first inning as he finished the game with three RBI.  The other RBI for the Yankees came off the bat of Shelley Duncan when he had a RBI single in the fifth inning.
