(Brief recap because it’s 2 AM and I want to sleep)
Just call them the Gods of OBP.
In Oakland tonight (err, this morning?), the Yankees managed a 7-3 win over the Athletics with only five hits–but they were helped by their ten walks.
Yankees’ starter Javier Vazquez was spotted a three run lead before he even threw a pitch; although Vazquez was not particularly efficient with his pitch count, he pitched well enough to win, and would have likely remained in the game longer had Curtis Granderson not misplayed a fly ball he should have caught.
Boone Logan made his Yankee debut, and seemed to be doing all right until coming undone after a Derek Jeter miscue (one which could have been called an error, but was not.)
Home Plate umpire Ed Rapuano took a foul ball off the mask; he left the game one batter later and as of this writing, had been taken by ambulance to a hospital for a CT scan. Here’s hoping that he is not seriously hurt.
