Andy Pettitte pitched great on Tuesday night as he pitched a eight innings and the New York Yankees defeated the visting Tampa Bay Rays by the score of 5-0.  Pettite only gave up four hits while walking zero and striking out five other batters.  Pettitte is now 10-6 on the season.

Derek Jeter got the Yankees scoring started in the third inning when he had a two run double that scored Robinson Cano and Jose Molina.  The Yankees were able to tack on a couple of insurance in the eighth inning when Melky Cabrera hit a solo home run and Bobby Abreu had a rbi double that scored Jeter.  Cano then singled to score Abreu for the yankees fifth run of the game.

Great win for the Yankees as they beat the Rays who sit a top the division.
