Yesterday the Yankees played the 2nd game of three against the Rangers. In the first game the Yankees lost 5-3 as they made a late rally but it was not enough. The Yankees, looking to seak vengence on the Rangers sent Freddy Garcia (left) to the hill in his first start as a Yankee. He pitched well going 6 innings allowing 2 hits giveing up 0 runs, 1 walk, 1 strikeout and all on 84 pitches. Now thats pretty good if you ask me. They Yankees continue to show off their bullpin as they pitched Chamberlin, Soriano, and Rivera who in the end picked up his 6th save of the year. The first game of this series fell on Jackie Robinson day and the last player ever that is allpowed to wear the number 42 in Mariono Rivera. Mariano is honnored to be the last person to wear the number and he hopes he dosnt screw it up. In the first inning the Yankees jumped all over the Rangers as Mark Teixeira hit a two run opposite feild home run. The slow starter isn't so slow anymore. Then in the3rd Teixeira hit a sac fly and accounted for 4 of the 5 runs scored in the game as hit scored on a Robinson Cano home run in the 8th to close the game.
