Tonight was a start that Phil Hughes does not want to remember as he couldn't even escape the first inning in the 12-2 blowout by the Mariners. He retired the leadoff batter on just two pitches, but it then took him 32 pitches to record the second out in the inning. Hughes gave up seven runs in the first inning before being pulled by manager Joe Girardi.
Hughes allowed seven runs on six hits in two thirds of an inning pitched. He issued two walks and did not record a strikeout. He threw 36 pitches, in which 23 of them were for strikes. The big blow in the inning was the grand slam by former Yankee, Raul Ibanez.
Preston Claiborne and Brett Marshall both pitched in relief tonight. Marshall allowed five runs and threw 108 pitches out of the bullpen.
Infielder Alberto Gonzalez pitched the ninth inning and recorded the final out in an effort to preserve a pitcher out of the bullpen.
Vernon Wells and Chris Stewart accounted for the Yankees only runs tonight as they both hit solo shots.
The Yankees and Mariners will conclude their three game series tomorrow night.
