“I fucking love winning. You know what I’m saying? Its like, better than losing.” –Nuke LaLoosh
Phil Hughes gave up a solo home run to Dustin Pedrioa in the first inning. He gave up solo shots in the third and fourth, still by the end of the fourth the Yanks were ahead 6-3. Just another turgid night for the Yanks and Sox, right?
Not really. The game ended before 10 o’clock because Hughes calmed down and pitched well over seven innings. Raul Ibanez and Russell Martin homered for the Yanks (both two-run shots) and Curtis Granderson put the game out of reach in the eighth when he hit a two-out grand slam. It was Grandy’s third hit of the night. Ichiro had a base hit and scored twice as the Yanks sailed to a Score Truck Style Beat Down.
Final Score: Yanks 10, Sox 3.
Oh, hell yes.
Nice. Nice.
Gunna Grandy Slam Slam you into my life.
I'm glad Hughes held went 7 . The only inning I saw was the first and that was less than impressive. Also, The Grandyman can!
Hughes showed real nous tonight. Good win.
