The Yankees took game 1 of this 3 game set Friday night by a final score of 9-4. C.C. picked up his first win of his career in Comerica Park and Curtis Granderson led the offensive surge with a grand slam.
Sabathia allowed 3 runs on 8 hits in 7 innings pitched. He struck out 5 and walked 2. He threw 113 pitches tonight. He increased his record to 7-2 on the season.
Curtis Granderson led the offense with a grand slam in the 2nd inning. Casey Crosby walked 4 guys in the 2nd inning and that led to the grand slam. They would go on to score 5 in the inning. Derek Jeter worked a bases loaded walk to plate a run before the grand slam.
Alex Rodriguez has been searching for his power stroke lately and might have found it with a 2-run shot to left center in the 9th inning. Rodriguez had a tough night at the plate as he struck out 3 times. This was his 8th home run on the season and his 21st run batted in.
The Yankees and Tigers will play game 2 tomorrow night.
