Mariano Rivera gave up a rbi single in the top of the ninth inning to Michael Young as the New York Yankees lost to the Texas Rangers by the score of 3-2. It was a dissapointing loss for the Yankees as they just couldn’t get anything going in the game and looked very frustrated at the plate. The Yankees will now have to win on Wednesday to avoid the three game sweep by the Rangers.
Yankees starting pitcher Joba Chamberlain struggled as he only lasted four innings. Chamberlain gave up five hits and two runs in the game as he got a no decision. Joba walked four batters while striking out six in his four innings of action. Dan Giese, David Robertson, and Jose Veras all seen action before Rivera blew the game in the ninth inning.
Robinson Cano and Wilson Betemit both had rbi singles for the Yankees. The Yankees just couldn’t get a good rally going to score any runs in the game. It was a very frustrating game to watch and it had to have been very frustrating to be a Yankees player or coach in the game.
I do like the Yankees chances to avoid the sweep on Wednesday however. What do you think?
