Yanks out to cap holiday weekend with sweep of Jays
Baseball Betting Lines
07/06/2009 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The New York Yankees shoot for their fourth straight win
this afternoon, when they try and complete a four-game sweep of the Toronto Blue Jays at Yankee Stadium.
New York, which has beaten the Jays the last five times it has faced them, has
not swept a four-game set from Toronto since turning the trick from September
18-21, 1995.
The Yanks will have their work cut out for them, though, as they will face
rookie left-hander Ricky Romero, who has won his last three starts and has not
given up a run in either of his last two outings.
Against the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday, Romero scattered four hits and struck
out seven over eight scoreless innings to run his record to 6-3 while lowering
his earned run average to 2.85.
The 24-year-old hurler, who will be facing the Yankees for the first time, has
not given up a run in his last 20 innings.
New York feasted on another Toronto rookie on Sunday, as they managed seven
runs and nine hits off of Brett Cecil in just 3 2/3 innings. However, Joba
Chamberlain gave it all back and the Yankees had to pull out a 10-8 win.
Derek Jeter went 4-for-5 for New York, and his two-run homer was the
difference in the win. Jeter, who was named the starting shortstop for the
American League in this year's All-Star Game prior to Sunday's contest, also
scored three times.
Hideki Matsui cracked a three-run homer in the fourth inning and finished with
four RBI for the Yankees, who have won three straight and 10 of 11 overall.
Jorge Posada finished 4-for-5 with three RBI in the win.
Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez was given the day off and was replaced by
Cody Ransom, who went 0-for-3 with a walk and run scored. Rodriguez is
expected back in the lineup this afternoon.
Chamberlain pitched to a no-decision despite being touched for eight runs --
three earned -- on nine hits over 3 2/3 innings. Jonathan Albaladejo (3-1),
who was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre earlier on Sunday to take
the roster spot of the injured Chien-Ming Wang, earned the win with 1 1/3
innings of scoreless relief.
Alfredo Aceves earned his first career save after pitching the last four
innings and giving up just one hit while striking out five.
"He did a tremendous job," Jeter said about Aceves. For him to come in and
shut down that team, capable of scoring a lot of runs, he did a tremendous
job,"
Adam Lind had a two-run homer while Aaron Hill also belted a two-run shot and
finished with three RBI for Toronto, which has lost seven of eight. Scott
Rolen went 1-for-5 and extended his hitting streak to 22 games.
"I said yesterday, we're playing good, just not quite good enough," Lind said.
"We'll be back here tomorrow, trying to win a game."
New York will pin its hopes this afternoon on veteran left-hander Andy
Pettitte, who has won his last two decisions and three of his last four.
Pettitte earned the win on Wednesday against Seattle, as he allowed two runs
and six hits in seven innings to run his record to 8-3 to go along with a 4.25
ERA.
Pettitte defeated the Jays the last time he faced them, back on May 13, and is
18-11 lifetime against them with a 4.12 ERA in 37 games, 36 of which have been
starts.
The Yankees won two of three matchups in Toronto from May 12-14 and have taken
seven of the nine most recent meetings between the teams.
