| Robinson Cano hits a go-ahead solo home run in the eighth inning of Sunday night's game. |
The Yankees concluded the Subway Series Sunday night with a win. They took the series 5-1, with a sweep in the Bronx and a 2-1 series win in Flushing.
C.C. Sabathia was on the mound tonight and he took a no decision in tonight's contest. Sabathia allowed 5 urns, in which 1 run was earned, on 9 hits in 5 2/3 innings pitched. He struck out 3 and walked 2. He exited with 73 strikes thrown over 112 pitches.
The Yankees were sloppy behind Sabathia tonight. They commited 3 errors which led to 4 unearned runs. Chris Stewart had 2 throwing errors and Robinson Cano had a fielding error. Cano's error could have gone either way, but it was a play that Cano usually makes.
The Yankee offense was able to get to the knuckleballer, R.A. Dickey. The Yankees scored 4 runs in the third inning, which was capped off by a Nick Swisher 3-run home run to right center field.
The Yankees would score 1 run in the fifth inning on a Mark Teixeira force out.
The Mets would come back to tie the game at 5, but then Robinson Cano would break the tie with a solo shot to center field in the 8th inning.
Rafael Soriano came on in the 9th and earned in 15th save on the season.
The Yankees will start a 7 game home stand tomorrow starting with the Cleveland Indians.
