A Few Things About Last Night

Even though I was unable to post a game summary last night there are a few things I wanted to talk about regarding yesterday's 5-3 win.A.J. Burnett had nothing but still somehow battled his way to a quality start (hate that stat) and kept the Yankees in the game. A pitcher with less overall stuff doesn't even come close to throwing that kind of game with that lack of command.Phil Hughes continues to be a dominant late inning reliever. Two more shutout innings, four more strikeouts, and at one point he actually hit 97 on the gun.It was great to see Mark Teixeira start the second half with a big game. He went 3-for-5, with a homer, 3 RBI, and a run scored. The homer was a game-winning 3-run shot of Joel Zumaya in the 7th. Zumaya has always been a punk so it was great to see the Yankees knock him around the yard. He is now headed back to the DL with shoulder soreness.Overall it was a nice win for the Yanks, who are now 52-37 and remain three games behind Boston.
