Hiroki Kuroda pitches against the Tigers on Sunday. (Getty Images)

The Yankees were unable to defeat the Tigers on Sunday as they were blanked 3-0. The Yankeeso ffense continued to struggle as they were only able to collect four hits.

Hiroki Kuroda started for the Yankees and he was oustanding. Kuroda allowed 3 runs on 5 hits in 7 2/3 innings of work. He struck out 11 batters and did not issue a free pass. Kuroda began the night by striking out five batters out of the first six. Kuroda finished his outing with 103 pitches thrown, in which 69 of them were for strikes.

The Yankee bullpen struggled a bit tonight as Boone Logan, Joba Chamberlain, and Clay Rapada could not record an out. Cody Eppley worked 1 1/3 innings of one hit ball. He struck out 2 and did not walk any.

The Yankee offense continued to struggle as they could not muster any runs tonight. As a team, they were able to collect four hits and were 0-for-5 with runners on scoring position. In addition to that poor number, they stranded seven runners on base.

The Yankees will travel to Detroit and will play Game 3 on Tuesday.

Derek Jeter Injury Update; Will See Specialist

Derek Jeter was further evaluated on Sunday as he underwent an CT scan and an MRI, which confirmed the initial diagnosis of a fracture in his left ankle.

Jeter injured his ankle during the twelfth inning of Game 1 on Saturday. Johnny Peralta, the Tigers shortstop, grounded to shortstop and it appeared as if Derek lost his footing and landed on his ankle.

Joe Girardi confirmed after the game that Jeter would be done for the season and the recovery time in around 3 months.

Jeter will travel visit a foot specialist in North Carolina and will not travel with the team to Detroit.

Andy Pettitte pitches against the Tigers on Saturday. (Getty Images)

The Yankees were unable to stop the Tigers on Saturday as they lost 6-4 in twelve innings. Raul Ibanez came up clutch again tonight when he launched a two-run shot to tie the game at four in the ninth inning. Derek Jerer exited in the twelfth inning with a fractured left ankle. Joe Girardi said in a postgame press conference that Jeter will be done for the season and the recovery time is 3 months.

Andy Pettitte started for the Yankees and he was outstanding. Pettitte allowed 2 runs on 7 hits in 6 2/3 innings of work. He struck out 5 and walked 3 batters. Pettitte finished his outing with 107 pitches, in which 71 of them were for strikes.

The Yankee offense seemed to get off to a good start as the loaded the bases twice in the first two innings. The opportunities were there for the Yankees, but they were unable to score as they left the bases loaded. The Yankees would load the bases for the third time in the sixth inning, but struck out two times to end the inning.

Down four while going into the ninth inning, Ichiro Suzuki belted a two-run shot to right field to cut their deficit to 4-2. After a strikeout to Cano, and a walk to Mark Teixeira, Raul Ibanez would step to the plate. Ibanez would drill a home run to right field to tie the game up at 4.

The Yankee bullpen pitched well tonight, but David Phelps took the loss. Phelps allowed 2 runs on 3 hits in 1 inning of work. He struck out 1 and walked 1.

The Yankees and Tigers will play Game 2 tomorrow afternoon.

C.C. Sabathia pitches against the Orioles on Friday. (Getty Images)

The Yankees were able to knock off the Orioles in the American League Division Series as they defeated them 3-1. C.C. Sabathia proved why he is an ace as he pitched a gem tonight. With him win tonight, C.C. Sabathia has picked up his first career postseason complete game. It is the first time that a player has pitched a complete game in the postseason for the Yankees since Roger Clemens in 2001.


Sabathia allowed 1 run on 4 hits in his complete game gem tonight. He struck out 9 batters and walked 2. Sabathia came out firing tonight as he had good command with all of his pitches. He finished the game with 121 pitches thrown, in which 78 of them were for strikes.

C.C. Sabathia worked into a jam in the eighth inning. With one run already in and the bases loaded with only one out, Sabathia struck out Nate McLouth on a nasty slider. He would then get J.J. Hardy to groundout to Jeter, who made a nice play on a slow roller.

The Yankee offense was able to score first tonight as they tookthe lead in the fifth inning on a Raul Ibanez RBI single to plate Mark Teixeira. They would go on to score in the sixth inning as well on a Ichiro Suzuki RBI double that scored Derek Jeter.

Curtis Granderson swung a hot bat tonight, despite slumping throughout the series, as he launched a solo shot to right field in the seventh inning.

The Yankees will welcome the Tigers tomorrow night when those two teams begin the American League Championship Series.

Hiroki Kuroda pitches against the Orioles on Wednesday. (Getty Images)

Raul Ibanez did it again. Just when you thought the Yankees lost a crucial Game 3, Joe Girardi made a gutsy move to pinch hit Raul Ibanez for Alex Rodriguez, which paid off. Ibanez jumped on a 1-0 pinch and belted it into the right field seats to tie the game a two. But he wasn't done. With the game still tied a two in the twelfth  Ibanez would come up again and launch a solo shot to deep right , which sent the Yankee off to a Game 3 win. 

Hiroki Kuroda started for the Yankees and he was brilliant. Kuroda allowed 2 runs on 5 hits in 8 1/3 innings of work. He stuck out 3 and walked only 1 batter. Kuroda finished his night with 105 pitches thrown, in which 65 of them were for strikes. 

Kuroda made two mistakes tonight: A solo shot to Ryan Flaherty and a solo shot to Manny Machado. 

The Yankee bullpen was outstanding tonight as well. Boone Logan, Rafael Soriano, and David Robertson limited the Orioles to just 2 hits over 3 2/3 innings. 

David Robertson pitched a scoreless eleventh and twelfth inning as he picked up the win tonight. 

Down one going into the third, Derek Jeter drove in the first Yankee run with his RBI triple to center field which plated Russell Martin. 

Derek Jeter left the game in the ninth inning after an apparent leg injury. Jeter fouled a ball off of his foot during an at-bat and he is listed as day-to-day. 

The Yankees and Orioles will play Game 4 of the American League Division Series tomorrow night.

The Yankees were unable to pick up consecutive victories against the Orioles as they were defeated 3-2 on Monday.

Andy Pettitte started for the Yankees and he was solid. Pettitte allowed 3 runs on 7 hits in 7 innings of work. He struck out 5 and walked only 1 batter. Pettitte finished his outing with 98 pitches thrown, in which 64 of them were for strikes.

The Yankee offense failed to back their starter up as they were 2-for-8 with runners in scoring position and left 10 men on.

Derek Jeter and Robinson Cano drove in their only two runs of the game.

The Yankees had a bunch of missed opportunities such as bases-loaded with one out in the fourth inning. Eduado Nunez would pop-out to shortstop and then Derek Jeter would ground out to third base.

The Yankees will travel to New York and play Game 3 on Wednesday.

C.C. Sabathia pitches against the Orioles on Sunday night. (Getty Images)

The Yankees were able to defeat the Orioles 7-2 in a crucial Game 1 of the American League Division Series. C.C. Sabathia proved why he is the ace of the staff as he picked up the win tonight. Sabathia was one out away from notching his first career postseason complete game.

Sabathia allowed 2 runs on 8 hits in 8 2/3 innings of work. He struck out 7 batters and walked only 1. Sabathia was lifted with two outs in the ninth inning after throwing 120 pitches, in which 80 of them were for strikes. He made only one mistake tonight, which was a two-run single by Nate McLouth in the third inning.

The Yankee offense got off to a fast start as they scored in the top half of the first inning. After a Derek Jeter leadoff single, Ichiro Suzuki knocked him in with a RBI double to left-center field.

Down by one run in the fourth inning, the Yankees were able to tie the game on a Mark Teixeira single, which scored Alex Rodriguez.

The Yankees would go into the ninth inning with the scored tied at two. The Yankees were able to rough up Jim Johnson, the Orioles closer, as they scored five runs to blow the game wide open.

Russell Martin led off the ninth inning with a solo-shot to left field. Ichiro Suzuki, Robinson Cano, and Nick Swisher would all drive in runs to put the game out of reach.

David Robertson relieved Sabathia with two outs in the ninth inning to close out Game 1.

Hiroki Kuroda pitches against the Red Sox on Wednesday. (Getty Images)

It took them down to the wire, but the Yankees have done it. The Yankees have clinched the American League East for the eighteenth time in their 14-2 win over the Red Sox on Wednesday. The Yankees have won the American League East thirteen times in the last seventeen years. With their win tonight, the Yankees have  also clinched the best record in the American League. They will have home field advantage throughout the palyoffs up until the World Series. Even if they lost this game, the Yankees would still be crowned American League East Champions as the Orioles were defeated by the Rays.

Hiroki Kuroda started for the Yankees and he picked up the win. Kuroda allowed 2 runs on 7 hits in 7 innings of work. He struck out 4 and walked 2. Kuroda finished his outing with 94 pitches thrown, in which 57 of them were thrown for strikes.

Robinson Cano led the charge offensively as he had a perfect night at the plate with four hits in four at-bats. He singled in his first at-bat, launched a two-run shot in the third, then another two-run shot in the fifth. He would top of his perfect night with a two-run single in the sixth inning. Cano would come up for a fifth time, but he would work a four pitch walk.

Read these stats. The following just goes to show how much of a hot streak Robinson Cano is on right now.

During his nine game hitting streak, Cano is 24-for-39 (.615) with 14 runs batted in, 11 runs scored, and 10 extra base hits. Out of those 10 extra base hits, 3 of them have been hit for home runs. He raised his average from .293 to .313 during this stretch.

With his outstanding performance tonight, Cano has driven in 6 runs batted in, which ties his career high. He last accomplished this on August 10th, 2010 against the Seattle Mariners.

Curtis Granderson also had himself a ballgame tonight as he went 2-for-4 with a pair of dingers. He drove in 4 runs tonight, which increased his season total to 102.

Ichiro Suzuki joined the fun as well as he drove in two with his double in the seventh inning.

The Yankee bullpen was solid as they shut down the door to secure the sweep of the Red Sox.

The Yankees will await their American League Division Series opponent as the wild card game will be played on Friday. The Yankees will either travel to Baltimore to play the Orioles or to Texas to play the Rangers.

David Phelps pitches against the Red Sox on Tuesday. (The Associated Press)

Raul Ibanez came through tonight for the Yankees as he belted a two-run shot in the ninth inning, then won the game in the twelfth inning on a single to left field. The Yankees kept sole possession of first place with their victory tonight.

David Phelps started for the Yankees and he was solid. Phelps allowed 2 runs on 3 hits in 5 1/3 innings of work. He struck out 4, but walked 2. Phelps had a shaky first inning as he allowed two runs to begin the night. He would settle down to give the Yankees a chance to win.

Raul Ibanez was called on to pinch hit in the ninth inning with Curtis Granderson on first base in a 3-1 ballgame. Ibanez came through with a big two-run shot to right field to tie the game. Raul would then come up in the twelfth inning and he would single through the left side to score Francisco Cervelli and win the game.

Eduardo Nunez drove in their first run tonight with a RBI infield single in the second inning.

Although the Yankees won the game, their offense struggled tonight. As a team, they were 4-for-11 with runners in scoring position and they left a total of 14 runners on base.

The Yankee bullpen was solid tonight as they shut the door in extra innings. Derek Lowe pitched 2 innings of 2 hit ball. He struck out 1 and walked 1, but did not allow a run. Lowe picked up his 9th win of the season tonight.

The Yankees and Red Sox will conclude their three game set tomorrow.

C.C. Sabathia pitches against the Red Sox on Monday. (Getty Images)

The Yankees were able to regain sole possession of first place in the American League East on Monday with their 10-2 win over the Red Sox. C.C. Sabathia was able to pick up his 15th win of the season.

Sabathia allowed 2 runs on 4 hits in 8 innings of work. He struck out 7 and walked only 1 batter. Sabathia threw 103 pitches, in which 69 of them were for strikes. Sabathia located all of his pitches well tonight and his change-up was solid tonight. The Yankees could have lifted Sabathia early in the game due to their huge lead, but they elected to stay with him through eight innings.

The Yankees lived up to their name in the second inning when they belted four home runs, which was the first time they had accomplished that feat.

Robinson Cano, Curtis Granderson, Russell Martin, and Mark Teixeira all hit home runs in their nine run second inning.

Alex Rodriguez snapped his RBI drought tonight when he hit a sacrifice fly to left field to score Eric Chavez in the fourth inning. Rodriguez went 50 at-bats without collecting a RBI.

Melky Mesa collected his first big league hit tonight in the eighth inning when he hit a RBI single to left field to score Eduardo Nunez. Mesa has made his name known around here when he missed third base in their 14 inning affair with the Oakland Athletics on September 22nd.

The Yankee bullpen was able to get some rest tonight as Freddy Garcia was the only man used.

The Yankees and Red Sox will continue their three game set tomorrow night.
