It was a great game to watch and Joba really stepped up as he went 7 innings, 3 hits and 103 pitches, the longest of his short pro career. He out dueled a tough Josh Beckett and brought the Bombers to two games in the lose column of the Sox.
It was a very intense Yankee/Sox game as Joba came in on Kevin Youkulis and hit his bat and the team after that. Kyle Forsworth got into a jam which brought in Rivera and he got a 5 out save.
The team is on a roll winning 7 in a row, they're 12 over ;500 and even in low scroing games they look confident something they did not look early in the year.
Durring the game it was announced that the Yankees and Pittsburgh reached adeal to get lefty Damaso Marte and outfielder Xaver Nady, fill 2 team needs. The team really needs a left arm out of the bull pen and a coner outfielder who is hitting .330 and is a very good outfielder. In the move the team does not lose any of their top prospects except for Jose Taba, one of the top outfield prospects in baseball. But that is just what he is...a prospect. This is a great move and it looks like a great move to make Joba a starter who now really moved up on the debt chart tonight big win.
