In the first inning, Derek Jeter hit his into team-leading 10th doubleplay of the season!
.
Later, Jason Giambi notched his Major League-leading 13th hit-by-pitch!
.
Bobby Abreu, our man batting third, is a big 5 for his last 41!
.
Over his last four starts, Darrel Rasner has achieved an ERA of 7.00!
.
Yank pitchers hurled two big scoreless innings!
.
Pirate starter Tom Gorzelanny threw more balls than strikes!
.
Over six innings, the Gorz walked five, hit a guy and gave up six hits -- and we tallied three runs!
.
In the third, the Gorze walked Rasner and Melky Cabrera on eight pitches, loading the bases with no outs for our big three hitters. Jeet hit a comebacker, and Bobby whacked a doubleplay!
.
For Friday's doubleheader against the Mets, the Yanks will start the famed pitching duo of Giese & Ponson! (Of the famed rhyme: "Giese, Ponson and a day to groan!")
If Matsui had been able to play, he would have hit into that double play.
