Finally the New York Yankees were able to end their losing streak!  The Yankees pounded out a 13-3 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday afternoon to break their three game losing streak.  With the win, they were able to avoid the embarrassing three game sweep.

Bobby Abreu hit two home runs and Alex Rodriguez connected for one as well.  It was great to see the Yankees score 13 runs and pretty much dominate the entire game.  Abreu finished the game with three rbi while A-Rod and Xavier Nady both had two rbi.  Johnny Damon, Justin Christian, and Jason Giambi all finished with one rbi.

Joba Chamberlain earned the win and is now 4-3 on the year.  Joba tossed six innings while allowing five hits and two runs.  He struck out six batters while walking none so he did have good control of his pitches.

David Robertson was charged with one run in the eighth inning.  Dan Giese pitched the ninth inning to finish up the game.

I will be out of town until Aug 11th for a conference so I will not be able to do any game recaps on the blog until I get back on the 12th.  If there is anyone out there that would like to blog some game recaps and let their opinion about the Yankees be heard, email us and we can talk and possibly get you setup!

Once again the New York Yankees hammered the Minnesota Twins as they won Tuesday evening by the score of 8-2.  Great offense output and great pitching equaled another win for the Yankees as they try to get back up on top of the East division standing.

David Robertson improved to 2-0 on the year as he recorded one out to pick up the win.  Yeah one out and Robertson got the win lol.  Starting pitcher Darrell Rasner was taken out of the game after pitching 5 2/3 innings and giving up four hits and two runs.  Ranser ended up with the no decision as the offense didn’t kick in until he left the game.

Jose Veras, Kyle Farnsworth, and Dan Giese all pitched on inning of relief without allowing a run to score.  That is exactly how you want to see your bullpen throw the ball.

Bobby Abreu led the team with three rbi including a two run home run.  Derek Jeter and Robinson Cano both finished with two rbi while Jason Giambi contributed with one rbi.  Balanced scoring once again by the Yankees offense who are swinging the bats very good right now.

The Yankees will be going for the three game sweep on Wednesday.  I like their chances do you?

The New York Yankees didn’t have any problems with the Minnesota Twins on Monday night as they opened up their weekday series with a 12-4 victory.  The Yankees had 16 hits to score those 12 runs as the offense was really swinging the bats well while the pitchers pitched well enough to get the victory.

Alex Rodriguez hit a two run home run while Robinson Cano and Derek Jeter both added solo shots for the Yankees.  A-Rod finished the game leading the team with three rbi.  Cano and Jeter both had two rbi each while Johnny Damon and Bobby Abreu both chipped in with one each.  That is a big balanced scoring attack for the Yankees as almost everybody contributed.

Sidney Ponson improved to 6-1 on the season as he threw 5 2/3 innings to get the win.  Ponson gave up nine hits and three runs while walking and striking out two batters.  Edwar Ramirez, David Robertson, and LaTroy Hawkins all threw out of the bullpen.  Hawkins threw the final two innings of the game while only allowing one hit.

It was a very good win for the Yankees and they will now hope to go up 2-0 in the series when they face off againast the Twins on Tuesday evening.  Yankees Blog

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?
