The Yankees went to work against the Indians on Tuesday night as they took the second game of their four game set by a final score of 14-1 . The Yankee offense had an outstanding night as they collected 18 hits and 14 runs. Andy Pettitte was able to hold the improved Indians lineup at bay as he surrendered only one run.
Andy Pettitte allowed one run on five hits in seven innings of work. He struck out four, but walked three batters. Pettitte finished his outing with 97 pitches thrown, in which 63 of them were for strikes. With his victory tonight, he improves his record to 2-0 on the year.
The Yankee offense found it's stroke tonight as they belted five home runs and put up fourteen runs on the board. Ichiro Suzuki, Robinson Cano, Kevin Youkilis, Lyle Overbay, and Brennan Boesch all hit home runs tonight in the win.
Robinson Cano continued his hot hitting tonight as he went 4-for-6 with two doubles and a home run. He scored two runs and drove in five.
Brett Gardner had a good game after getting off to a rough start. Gardner collected four hits in five at-bats. He scored three runs and drove in two runs. He also worked a walk.
Tempers almost flared in the fourth inning when Kevin Youkilis was plunked by Carlos Carrasco after a Robinson Cano hit a home run. Carrasco was ejected by home plate umpire, Jordan Baker. Baker seemed to get caught in the middle of his decision as he ejected Carrasco after throwing him a new ball. Terry Francona, the Indians manager, came out to argue the ejection, but later returned to the dugout without getting himself ejected.
The Yankee third basemen, Kevin Youkilis, would get redemption in his next at bat as he drilled a two-run shot to left field.
Adam Warren would relieve Pettitte to work the eighth and ninth inning. He allowed no runs on two hits. He also struck out one and did not issue a walk.
The Yankees will look to add on to their three game winning streak tomorrow when they play game number three of four against the Cleveland Indians.
