The Angels used a big sixth inning where they scored six runs to really break the game wide open. There was also a little fight between Pudge Rodriguez and Torii Hunter that caused the benches to clear in the sixth inning. Hunter bumped into Pudge and Pudge pushed him and Hunter went back at Pudge. Wasn’t a full out brawl but sure did nothing for the Yankees in the end.

Carl Pavano dropped to 2-1 on the year as he took the loss for the Yankees. Pavano gave up five runs on six hits in just 5 1/3 innings. Dan Giese and Edwar Ramirez both allowed three runs to score each before Chris Britton allowed one more in the eighth inning. All the Yankees pitchers struggled against the high powered Angels lineup.

Alex Rodriguez had the one rbi for the Yankees. A-rod singled in the first inning to score Johnny Damon. That was all the offense for the Yankees and it was just a terrible game.

The Yankees only had six hits and one run in the game tonight.  The only run came in the eighth inning when Johnny Damon grounded out to first base and Jose Molina scored from third base.

Andy Pettite pitched terrible as he gave up eight hits and five runs in the game while only pitching four innings.  Pettitte is now 3-3 on the season as he took the loss.

Chris Britton and Jose Veras both gave up one run as well in relief.

All around it was just a bad game for the Yankees.  They will look to turn things around tomorrow agains the Rays.  Yankees Blog

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.
