Yankees.com: CC’s Yanks take what Mets give them
NEW YORK—The Yankees held their breath regarding the state of CC Sabathia’s tight left biceps, with manager Joe Girardi hoping no bad news would trickle back from the bullpen during pregame warmups.
He needn’t have worried. Sabathia came out just fine, retiring the first 12 batters he faced and even contributing a run-scoring single as the Yankees defeated the Mets, 9-1, on Friday in the first Subway Series game played at Citi Field.
Alex Rodriguez homered for the second successive game, belting a two-run shot off Elmer Dessens in the eighth inning—the 564th of his Major League career, moving him past Reggie Jackson for sole possession of 11th place on baseball’s all-time list.
Now what will Buster Olney write about?
Burnett should be able to out-pitch Tim Redding tomorrow. Hopefully the Yankees can knock him out of the game early so we won’t have to look at that furry animal attached to his chin.
