The Yankees rally fell just short tonight as they were defeat 8-5 by the Rangers. The Yankees cut the deficit to one twice, but the bullpen couldn't shut down the Rangers. Andy Pettitte started for the Yankees, but struggled again as he suffered the loss.
Pettitte allowed four runs, three earned, on six hits, in six innings of work. He struck out six and walked two. He finished his outing with 107 pitches thrown, in which 72 of them were for strikes.
The Yankees made it a one run game in the bottom of the sixth inning after they scored two runs to make it a 4-3 game. Joba Chamberlain entered the game in the seventh inning and gave those two runs back. The Yankees would answer in the bottom half of the seventh inning with two more runs to make it a 6-5 game.
The Rangers would pad their lead in the ninth inning with two runs to make it a 8-5 game.
The Yankees could not answer in the bottom half of the ninth inning as they were retired in order by Joe Nathan.
The Yankees and Rangers will conclude their three-game set tomorrow afternoon.
