I'm starting to believe this series will go all the way ! Another pitchers duel. After five years since his last appearance Pedro Martinez was back to Yankees stadium. For the first time he put his feet at the mound the yankees fans let him know he was back. The chant was a Pedro's know: WHO'S YOUR DADDY???? At the beggining it didn't seen to afect Pedro. He got Jeter and Damon striking out and than got Teixeira out with a pop out. He didn't had his old fastball ( the one that use to blow hitters aways dialing 99mph) but his off speed pitches were in control. But after that the Yankees diferent from wednesday got a little more patient at the plate making Pedro trow a lot of pitches. He surrended two home runs. One to Teixeira on a 1-0 count that was a little to high and perfect to Teixeira drive to the Yankees bullpen. The other one was a pitch that got too much of the plate and Matsui sent to the right field. 2 runs on six inning was not that bad but manager Charlie Manuel made the mistake ( or not who knows) to send Pedro back to seventh inning. After two hits Pedro come out but the Yankees was able to send one of the runners home and the leed got a little bigger.

On the other side Burnett trew his most important game in pinstripes (as he recognize later at the interview). Trowing strike one almost the entire game he got ahead of hitters and was able to trow his breakball effectively for strike out. After a run scored in the second inning ( more because A-Rod could stop the ball than AJ faults) he simply didn't stop trow strikes. With his personal cacther again ( what a play by Molina to pickoff Werth on first base) his got into a rhythm and when he finally got out of the game the score were 3-1 Yankees and he trew a 7 inning 1 run 9 strikes out game living to Mariano to close the game on another 6 outs save. Game Over! Series even! And now we are going to Game 3 saturday at Phillies with a duel between Cole Hamels and Andy Pettitte ! See you there !
