Twins’ Visit THE Bronx,
Pettitte SHOWS THEM HOW TO GET THEIR 11th IN A ROW ROAD LOSS.
Andy Pettitte THE 37-Year-Old Lefty Seems Ageless, Pitching JUST AS GOOD AS He EVER Had BUILDING ON A MONUMENTAL Career.
1st Trip To The HILL In 10 Days, Pettitte Won The 5th OUT OF 7 Starts SO FAR THIS YEAR, Shutting Out The Twins THROUGH 6 1/3 Innings. Tied The American League Leader In W's, & A 1.89 ERA Is The Lowest After 7 Starts IN HIS CAREER. Pettitte Allowed Only 9 Earned Runs All YEAR.
"I never doubt Andy Pettitte because of his heart, I always believe Andy can be great any time he takes the ball. I've caught him, I've coached him, I've managed him. To me, he really has what it takes inside to be a consistent player. I would never put a limitation on Andy because of what he has inside." -Manager Joe Girardi
22 Batters = 19 Outs, Holding The Twins To 2 Singles.
"He had his curve-ball & his cutter from the beginning, which made me feel really good about how he felt." -Girardi
Same as always, complete with a steady diet of curves and cutters.
FROSTING On The Cake Was Offense.
Twins Came Into New York Tied With The Yanks For 2nd-Best Record In The AL.
Mark Teixeira & Jorge Posada Hit 2-run HR's In The 7th OFF OF Francisco Liriano. Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter & Marcus Thames Had RBI Singles, & Defense NAILED THE COFFIN SHUT.
Brett Gardner & Nick Swisher EACH Made HARD DIVING GRABS On Line-DRIVE's.
After THE Comeback WIN VS. Minnesota Friday Night, DUE To A-Rod's 7th-Inning Grand SALAMI, Yank's Led This 1 From The FIRST PITCH. NOT LOSING @ Home VS. Twins Since July 4th, 07'.
Thames Was Hit BY A Pitch TO HIS LEFT FOOT By Liriano, LATER Scoring On Jeter's Single To Right, Sliding Home Ahead Of Michael Cuddyer's Throw IN FRONT OF THE Crowd Of 46,347.
