Game Recap
Final Score: Red Sox 13 Yankees 9
The New York Yankees suffered yet
another loss to the Boston Red Sox at home on Saturday afternoon. The
loss moves the Yankees to (75-67), which is three games behind the
Tampa Bay Rays for the final Wild Card spot.
David Huff was brought in to the
rotation to take the spot of the struggling Phil Hughes, but on
Saturday afternoon it was Huff who got shelled, as he picked up his
first loss as a Yankee. Mike Napoli who was the hero of Friday nights
game wasted little time putting his mark on Saturday's game, as he
hit a two-run home run in the second inning to get the Red Sox the
early lead. In the third inning the long ball would hurt Huff again,
as this time it was a three-run home run by Johnny Gomes. The fourth
inning would be the last for Huff, as the Red Sox really broke it
open starting with a Ryan Lavarnway double. A RBI ground out by
Xander Bogaerts, which was followed by a double by Shane Victorino
would make it a 8-2 game, and it would kick Huff from the ball game.
Huff would go just 3.1 innings allowing nine runs on eight hits, as
Jim Miller would give up a base-hit to Johnny Gomes, which scored
Victorino, finishing off Huff's line.
