King Chamberlin

YANKEES 10
PIRATES 0
Joba Chamberlin earned his first vicotry as a starter this season, as the Yankees demolished the hapless Pirates 10-0 in Pittsburgh PA, Wednesday.


Chamberlin threw a six and two-thirds innings shut out in this start, and was completely dominating striking out seven Pirates. He threw 114 pitches in the effort which is the most he has thrown all season.

As for the Yankee bats, they made up for last night's debacle. Derek Jeter and Bobby Abreu led the charge with five runs and five RBI between them. Jeter (3 for 5, three runs scored and one RBI) was a pest all night for the pirates, scoring on a fielder's choice in the first, and scoring again in the second on a Jason Giambi single.

In the fourth, baseball's most feared number two hitter, doubled to right to bring home rookie Justin Christian.

In the sixth, Jeter once again found a way to get on with a single, and would once again come home to score after Abreu blasted a three run homer to right field. Abreu would later add an RBI double in the eight to give the Bombers a 9-0 lead. Abreu went 3 for 5 with two runs scored and four RBI. BOXSCORE

The Yankees have one more in Pittsburgh before this weekend's Subway Series. The final Subway Series in both old Yankee and Shea Stadiums.
