Rough night yesterday. Cliff Lee went to Bronx with one goal: trow strikes and make the Yankees hitters chase balls outside the zone. Since his first pitch Lee kept them off balance. Working both sides of the plate he trew a complete game alowing just one run and striking out 10 and without allowing a free pass. The Yankees hitters knowed as a patiente team couldn’t draw a single walk of Lee.
On the other side CC start the game getting to quicks out before got himself in trouble loading the bases but Ibanez hit a ground ball to Cano and CC got out of trouble. Beside that first inning (he had to trow 24 pitches) he gave the Yankees 7 innings of two run ball both runs scored by Utley solos shots. It was not a good game for CC but he still gave the Yankees a close game. After CC got out of the game the Yankees bullpen imploded surrendering 4 runs. Even with the effort in the 9 inning it was not enough.
For the first time in this playoffs the Yankees will be behind 0-1. Game two is crucial for them and will be a battle between AJ Burnett and Pedro Martinez.
