Yankees bullpen can't hold lead late against Rays

The Yankees were unable to hold a late lead against the Rays on Friday as they were defeated 11-5 in what seemed like another win for the bombers.

After jumping out to an early 4-0 start, the Rays kept chipping away before taking a 6-5 lead in the seventh inning. In the very next inning, the Rays put up a crooked five spot in the bottom of the eighth inning. From that point on, the game was out of reach for the Yankees.

Hiroki Kuroda pitched well for the Yankees but picked up the no decision.

The Yankees and Rays will continue their four-game set tomorrow.

Yanks' defeat Red Sox 3-2, take series

The Yankees were able to take three games out of four against their rivals, the Red Sox, after defeating them 3-2 on Sunday.

Ivan Nova pitched excellent to earn his first win of the season. Nova had most of his pitches working, especially his big breaking curve ball. He worked into and out of jams all night and got a big ovation when he walked off the mound.

The Yankee offense was powered by Carlos Beltran, who hit a go-ahead two-run home run on a hanging curveball from Felix Doubront.

Yankees lose close game against O's 5-4

The Yankees were unable to take the series against the Orioles tonight as they were defeated 5-4 in a close game.

Masahiro Tanaka was impressive again tonight and if it wasn't for one hanging splitter, he would have pitched a gem. Tanaka allowed one three runs, in which they came from a three-run home run. He struck out a caree high ten batters tonight. 

The Yankee offense dug out of a early 3-0 hole to tie the game at three, but after the Orioles scored two in the ninth, the Yankees fell just short with just one in the ninth.

The Yankees were defeated by the Orioles 14-5 today and this was obviously their worst loss of the season.

Ivan Nova started and he struggled right from the game by allowing three runs in the first inning. Things would get worse from there as he departed after allowing seven runs. This is his second start of the season and he hopes to forget this one.

The Yankee offense showed signs of life throughout the game, but when they got back into it, the Yankee pitching would give up more runs.

The Yankees hope to forget this game and move on to the finale tomorrow night.

Eduardo Nunez traded to Twins

The Yankees have announced that Eduardo Nunez has been traded to the Minnesota Twins for minor league left-hander Miguel Sulbaran.

Nunez was designated for assignment by the Yankees before the season started after Yangervis Solarte won the final spot on the Yankees roster.

Miguel Sulbaran is 21-10 with a 3.15 ERA in 55 career minor league games. He has split time between the Dodgers and Twins. Before being traded he was pitched for Class A Cedar Rapids in the Twins organization.

Yankees place David Robertson on 15-day DL

The Yankees have placed their closer, David Robertson, on the 15-day DL with a Grade 1 strain of his left groin strain.

Robertson first felt the injury against the Blue Jays on Sunday, in which he recorded his second save of the season. After about five or six pitches, he felt irritation in his left groin. Initially, he thought it would go away overnight, but notified the team Monday morning and was quickly sent for a MRI.

Shawn Kelley will likely close out ballgames for now on until Robertson makes recovers.

The Yankees opened up Yankee Stadium for the first time in 2014 today and presented it with a 4-2 win over the Baltimore Orioles.

Hiroki Kuroda started for the Yankees and he pitched very well to pick up his first win of the season. Kuroda located his pitches and kept them down in the zone throughout the game. He got himself into some trouble in the seventh inning, but Matt Thorton and David Phelps came on to clean up the mess.

The Yankee offense was effective today. As a team they scored four runs on eight hits. Jacoby Ellsbury, Kelly Johnson, and Yangervis Solarte all contributed with RBI's in the win. Derek Jeter grounded into a double play to score Solarte in the third inning.

Shawn Kelley picked up the save today due to David Robertson's groin injury.

The Yankees and Orioles will continue their three game set with another afternoon game tomorrow.

The Yankees took two-out-of-three against the Blue Jays in their three game set as they defeated them 6-4 today behind ace, C.C. Sabathia.

Sabathia looked much better than he did in Houston, and if it wasn't for his rocky sixth inning, then this outing would have been a very quality start.

The Yankee offense came out swinging today as they scored three early runs before Sabathia even threw a pitch.

Brett Gardner hit the Yankees first home run of the 2014 season with his two-run shot down the right field line in the fourth inning.

David Robertson came on to pitch the 9th inning and shut down the Blue Jays to collect his second save of the young season.

The Yankees will travel to New York for the first time this season to play their home opener at Yankee Stadium.

Derek Jeter passes Paul Molitor for 8th place on all-time hits list

Derek Jetet has tied and passed Paul Molitor for 8th place on the all-time hits list with two hits today against the Blue Jays.

With his two singles so far, he is up to 3,320 hits and next on the list is Carl Yastrzemski with 3,420.

The Yankees were unable to stretch their win streak to three games as they were defeated by the Blue Jays 4-0.

Michael Pineda made his first official start of his Yankee career today and he pitched very well. Despite taking the loss, he had a lot of velocity on his fastball and his pitches moved well. He allowed only one earned run in his outing also.

The Yankee offense was silent as they couldn't even score a run in the game. They had their chances, but failed to capitalize. This Yankee offense is promising, but some days they just cannot get it done.

The Yankees and Blue Jays will complete their three-game set tomorrow.

Mark Teixeira placed on DL, Romine recalled

The Yankees have placed first basemen Mark Teixeira on the 15-day disabled list on Saturday due to a right hamstring strain. Teixeira suffered the injury Friday night after lunging for a foul ball.

Austin Romine has been recalled from Triple-A to give the Yankees a little more depth. With Teixeira out, Kelly Johnson will be the first basemen and backup catcher Francisco Cervelli may see time over there as well.

The Yankees hope that Mark is only out the minimum 15 days.

The Yankees were able to get in the win column for the first time this season after they defeated the Astros 4-2.

Ivan Nova started for the Yankees and had a decent outing, although his command was off tonight. In five and two-thirds innings of work, he walked five batters and struck out only one. Just like the previous two Yankee starters, Nova struggled in the first inning when he allowed a run, but escaped further trouble thanks to a double play ball.

The Yankee offense got on the board tonight in the third inning on a Brett Gardner single, then on a Carlos Beltran sacrifice fly.

Derek Jeter collected his first RBI of the year in the fifth inning.

David Robertson came on in the ninth inning and earned his first save of the season.

The Yankees will begin a three-game set with the Blue Jays tomorrow night in Toronto.

The Yankees were unable to pick up their first win of the season as they lost to the Astros 3-1.

Hiroki Kuroda started the game and pitched fairly well, although the pitches he left up in the zone were hit for extra base hits.

The Yankee offense was quiet again. They struggled all night with driving in runs and left many men on base. They had their opportunities, but were unable to cash in.

The Yankees and Astros will conclude their opening series tomorrow night.

The Yankees and Astros will continue their opening series tomorrow night.

Yankees designated Eduardo Nunez for assignment

The Yankees have designated infielder Eduardo Nunez for assignment today in order to make room for Yangervis Solarte on the 40-man roster, the team has announced.

Nunez used to be looked at as a replacement for Derek Jeter, but with his inconsistent defense and sub par bat, the Yankees look to go in a different direction.

Solarte beat Nunez out in spring training for the final backup infield spot after posting impressive numbers.

The Yankees have 10 days to place him on waivers, trade him, release him, or send him down to the minors.
