Kyle Drabek pitches amazing and Bautista hits the fastest homer of the season
Kyle Drabek came into tonight's game in almost a must win as he came in with a four game losing streak and he was on for all 7 innings he pitched as he only gave up 3 hits and four walks. Even when he lost control of the strike zone in the seventh and walked two he settled down got the next three batters with help from the ump to start as he called Jayson Nix (yes the guy may have ended Mariono Rivera's career) was called out at second when he was clearly at the bag before Kelly Johnson as he was way off the base in a right field oriented position for the hitter Curtis Granderson and Johnson was closer to first than second. Through the first five innings he only faced 4 extra batters and gave up a single through five inning and then in the sixth he gave up a double to Robinson Cano (300th in his career) and he scored on a Mark Teixeira RBI single which was his 1500th hit in his career and the the only run the Yankees scored and was the last hit the Yankees had in the game. Drabek throw in his curve ball that working well and missed up the batters and it help his other pitches especially the fast ball get by them as he had 5 strike outs and he had 13 ground ball outs to 2 fly ball outs in the game.
J.P. Arencibia started the home tun fun with a two-run homer in the second inning and followed that up with a double in the fourth and scored a run on Kelly Johnson RBI single that was followed up with a single sixth and then he came up in the eighth with a chance at a cycle with a triple but ended up striking out.
So Jose Bautista according to ESPN hit the quickest homer so far on the season at 117 mph in the fifth inning his 9 on the season and also scored after walking in the third and scoring on a three run shot by Edwin Encarnacion wgucg was his 13rg of the season. The fourth and finally homer in the game to make the final 8-1 in the seventh was from Kelly Johnson who hit a lead off homer which was his 100 homer in his career.
Luis Perez walked two batters in the eighth and it was the only sore spot in the game for the Jays as they walked 6 Yankees but none scored and the Jays had no errors in the game and Francisco Cordero pitched a 1,2,3 ninth inning as the Jays out hit the Yankees 11-3.
Drew Hutchison pitches tomorrow
