Texas Rangers vs New York Yankees Post
Game Recap
Final Score: Rangers 2 Yankees 0
The New York Yankees finished up their
series with the Texas Rangers in very disappointing fashion, as they
were shutout by the Rangers in the rubber game of the series. The
loss moves the Yankees to (42-36) on the season, and are now in third
place in the AL East four games behind the Boston Red Sox.
Phil Hughes was figured to be pitching
for his spot in the rotation in this game, and actually came thru
with a really solid start, but with zero run support he picked up his
seventh loss of the season. Hughes went eight innings allowing just
two runs on five hits, one walk, and he struck out five batters. The
Rangers first run off Hughes came in the third inning, as Ian Kinsler
hit a sac-fly to Left Field which scored Jurickson Profar. Profar
would also score the second run of the game in the fifth inning, as
he hit a solo-home run, for his third of the year off Hughes.
Despite Hughes pitching very well Derek
Holland pitched even better, earning his sixth win of the season, and
his first ever in Yankees Stadium. Holland pitched a complete game
shutout allowing only two hits, two walks, and struckout seven
batters on just 91 pitches. The only Yankees to get hits off Holland
were Ichiro Suzuki, and Austin Romine. Jayson Nix was the only Yankee
to get to Second Base in this game after a walk, and then a stolen
base.
Next up for the Yankees will be a
three-game series in Baltimore against the Orioles, who are a half a
game ahead of them in the AL East right now. The pitcher for Game 1
will be David Phelps (5-4, 4.01) for the Yankees, but the Orioles
have yet to announce theirs.
