Today the Yankees beat the Detroit Tigers 10-6. It was warmer then Thursdays game but still cold. The Yankees had their worst pitcher in history literally on the mound. A.J Burnett (right) is the first pitcher in New York Yankee history to have 15 losses and an ERA over 5. But that didn't stop him from picking up his first win of the 2011 season. Burnett went 5.0 innings 3 runs 6 strikeouts 5 hits 1 wild pitch and threw 86 pitches. His opponent Brad Penny (left) went 4.1 innings 7 hits 8 runs 4 walks and 3 strikeouts and 89 pitches as the Yankees jump all over him. They scored 3 runs in the first inning after a single, walk, rbi double, rbi single, and a sac fly. After the 2nd inning the Yankees lead 6-0 and never looked back. Mark Teixeira hit another 3 run home run in the 2nd he has had 7 years with 100+ RBI's and Russel Martin hit his first home run as a Yankee and it was a 3-run bomb to left center take a 9-3 lead. 
Alex Rodriguez went yard on a guy making his major league debut. He was the guys first batter. Everybody in the Yankees lineup except Nick Swisher had a hit but he contributed to the 10 runs with a sac fly that scored Rodriguez in the first inning.
The reporters sat down with Jorge Posada to talk about with his future with the Yankees. He said that it depends on things," if I stay healthy, If I produce from the DH role." "I am turning 40 this year and it is the Yankees decision to keep me or let me go."
Rodriguez is in his 8th season with the Yankees as he is 36 years old and has had 13 season with 100+ RBI's and has no intention of going anywhere else.
