Cano's Blast Leads Yanks' to Subway Win

New York Yankees v New York Mets
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.

Yanks' Rally to Top Mets

The Yankees were able to top the Mets Saturday night after a seventh inning rally that led to the victory. Ivan  Nova started for the Yankees and pitched well. 

Ivan Nova allowed 3 runs, 2 in which were earned, on 5 hits in 5 2/3 innings. He struck out 7 and walked 3. Nova threw 99 pitches, 61 of them were for strikes.

The Yankee offense was silent until the 7th inning when Mark Teixeira led off the inning with a walk. Nick Swisher would double on a ball misplayed by Lucas Duda in right field. Raul Ibanez would hit a game tying 3 run home run to right field that barley made it over the wall. Eric Chavez would pinch hit for the pitcher and hit a go ahead solo shot to left field.

The Yankees scored 4 in the seventh and that would be all that they needed to earn the victory.

The Yankee bullpen was outstanding tonight. They worked 3 1/3 innings and only allowed 2 hits.

Boone Logan would relieve Cody Eppley in the seventh inning with a man on third and one out. He would escape the jam by striking out the two batters that he faced.

David Robertson would come on in the eighth and strike out the side. Robertson would walk 2 batters in the inning, but he would work out of his self-made jam.

Rafael Soriano would close the game out in the ninth and earn his 14th save on the season.

Clay Rapada also pitched 1/3 of an inning and he struck out the only batter that he faced.

The Yankees and Mets will conclude the Subway Series tomorrow night.

With his double to right field Saturday night, Nick Swisher has picked up career hit 1,000. 

Nick Swisher hit a first pitch fastball to right field in the seventh inning that was misplayed by Lucas Duda. The official scoring was a single and an E9, but was changed to a double later on.

Swisher is hitting .268 on the season with 10 home runs and 14 RBI's in 62 games this season.
