YANKEES 10
ANGELS 1
ANGELS 1
You can put this one in the books.
The New York Yankees hold a 3-1 series advantage over the suddenly struggling L.A. Angels of Anaheim, blowing away the halos, 10-1.
Led by the superb C.C. Sabathia, the Yankees took the lead and never looked back in this critical game four of the 2009 ALCS.
Sabathia pitching on three day's rest needed to give the Yankees bullpen some relief after the pen had been overused the past two games which
went a combined 24 innings.
Sabathia went eight brilliant innings allowing only five hits and a run, while striking out five. He threw only 101 pitches on the evening, quite economical when the Yankees needed him the most. Sabathia is now 3-0 in the postseason with a 1.19 ERA. Overall, he is 22-7 on the season.
Offensively, the Yankees got to former Mets prospect and former Devil Ray, Scott Kazmir, in the fourth inning when Robinson Cano reached on a fielders' choice to bring home a sliding Alex Rodriguez with the game's first run.
Melkey Cabrera's single drove in Jorge Posada and Robinson Cano to make it 3-0 Bombers.
In the fifth inning, the Yankees put this one away as Rodriguez blasted a two run shot to left, making it 5-0. Rodriguez continues to rake with the bat. He went 3 for 4 with two more RBIs. He has three homers and five RBIs and is hitting .375 in this series.
Johnny Damon put on his hitting gloves in the eighth when he lifted a two run shot over the right field scoreboard to make 7-1 Yankees. Box Score.
The Yankees hold a 3-1 lead and will look to A.J. Burnett on Thrusday to close this series out. If the Yankees should finish it off, they will make their first World Series appearance since 2003 when they were stung by the Florida Marlins in six games. The world champion Philadelphia Phillies might be waiting if they can finish off Joe Torre's Dodgers on Wednesday.
