New York Yankees vs San Diego Padres
Post Game Recap
Final Score: Yankees 3 Padres 6
The New York Yankees were unable to
come up with a win on Sunday, losing the rubber game of a three-game
series series in San Diego against the Padres. The loss moves the
Yankees to (57-53), and are now 9.5 games behind the division leading
Boston Red Sox.
Phil Hughes was absolutely awful on
Sunday, as his poor performance put the Yankees in a early hole that
was just to much for them to get out of, and it gave Hughes his 10th
loss of the season. The Padres wasted little time getting to Hughes,
as in the second inning they got three runs on a sac-fly by Mark
Kotsay, and then a two-out RBI single by Everth Cabrera scored Chris
Denorfia and Nick Hundley. In the third inning Hughes gave up two
more runs, as Denorfia hit a sac-fly to score Alexi Amarista, and
then Kotsay singled home Chase Headley, which led to Joe Girardi
pulling Hughes out of the game. Hughes went only 2.1 innings allowing
five runs on six hits, and two walks.
