For the second straight game, the Rays beat the Yankees, this time 6-3.
Andy Pettite made his first start of the season and gave you five runs (3 earned) in five innings to take the loss. Eight hits were scattered throughout those innings. Pettite's loss made the Yankees rotation a super 1-3 through its first go-through. If the Yankees are going to compete this yera in the American League, they are going to need better pitching than what they have been given in these first few games.
Pettite was pitching fine until he gave up a 3-run shot to Johnny Gomes.
The Yankees bats, though, again faltered. This team, which is supposed to be an offensive juggernaut, has not done anything grand yet. They have only scored 15 runs in five games.
Damon is batting .111, Jeter .211, Giambi .083, Cano .105 and Posada .200. The Yankees had the bases loaded with one out once and got no runs out of it, and then later in the game only were able to get two runs with no outs.
The Yankees need to start playing better ball, end of story.
