INSIDER: Boston came back today and knocked around A.J. Burnett and the bullpen as the Yankees lost big time, 14-1. The loss now cuts the Yankees' lead to 6.5 games, but the Yanks have a chance to build that lead back up to 7.5 games tomorrow with CC Sabathia on the hill against Josh Beckett.
ON THE MOUND:
A.J. Burnett allowed a career-high nine runs today in five innings, allowing three home runs, (1 each by Kevin Youkilis, David Ortiz, and Alex Gonzalez) walking two and striking out six. His velocity was up as he threw 94 or harder but the Sox murdered him.
Alfredo Aceves pitched the 6th and 7th and struggled again. He allowed three runs on three hits, one of them being a two-run homer from Kevin Youkilis, his 2nd of the game. David Robertson pitched the last 2 innings and allowed two more runs. Just a horrible day for the Yankee pitching staff.
THE OFFENSE:
One game after pounding out 20 runs on 23 hits, the Yankees bats were silent today as they left 10 men on base and went 0-8 with RISP. The only run that was scored was from Nick Swisher's solo home run in the seventh.
