Aug. 13, 2011
NEW YORK--Jorge Posada manager Joe Girardi had little other choice than to give him a different start.
Phil Hughes was also a postponement, although his strong outing Saturday been may not be sufficient to prevent that a possible demotion to the bullpen.
Posada hit a Grand Slam and drove in six runs in his first game since is benched before six days, and Hughes made his case in the New York Yankees rotation with six effective innings in a 9-2-win to stay, which ended in the Tampa Bay rays five game winning streak.
"It is something special," Posada said. "I have an opportunity today spielen-- and it's hard to sit around." "It is not easy to sit here and see all play."
Curtis Granderson hit his 33rd Homer to tie Jose Bautista for the Champions League lead and Robinson Cano had two hits and scored twice to help the Yankees from a loss to the rays on Friday night rebound.
"We well pitch not," beams said manager Joe Maddon. ", This is not us like."
Getting started in the designated hitter on the day his buddy, Derek Jeter was honoured for the reach of 3,000 hits, laced Posada a bases loaded single off Jeremy Hellickson (10-8) in the second give New York a 2-0 lead. He picked up in the fourth then hit his 10th Homer and 10th career slam in the fifth from Brandon Gomes.
Posada not played since dropped from his regular place as a designated hitter Sunday in Boston.
After the game, he learned that he would DH again Sunday.
"Like I said, he is still a role play in this team," said Girardi. "We need it."
In the last year of four year, 52.4 million US dollar contract is Posada 40 on Wednesday. He is in what probably is his last year with the Yankees, and is it a try a.
He took from the list in may, when he was dropped, then sorry for ninth in the order to his team-mates a day later. He had difficulties after he primary catcher for most of his 17-year career the team adjust to his role as a full-time DH.
Posada said before the game on Saturday, he "everything I remain in the list can try wants to do."
He came safely through in the clutch: Posada's run-scoring hits both came, after two batters rays pitcher walked to load the bases.
"From now on, I have to look at the lineup card and be ready," Posada said.
Hughes (3-4) is deleted in danger from the starting rotation despite two consecutive fixed is. Girardi is active on the trip after a five-man rotation of temporary six starters and the two names is the most for demotion were mentioned, Hughes and A.J. Burnett.
But this decision will have to wait. After days of the coming change to speak Girardi postal game revealed that Freddy Garcia cut his finger in a kitchen accident over four or five days before and not Sunday starts.
Instead, Burnett will face the rays.
The starters moved up a day and Hughes on a regular schedule to stay.
Hughes has fight in this season, to go to earn 18-8 in the last year and his first all star trip. 25 Year-old right-hander a 7.11 ERA had come off Saturday with a long stint on the list. But he threw a rain shortened six inning three hitter in his previous Aug. 2 and four hits aufgab-- a Homer, Desmond Jennings from the sechsten-- and two leading leads this time. Hughes went one and seven shall be deleted.
Hughes, said he does not believe then about what could happen.
"It's hard pitch enough to a really good game if you have the conscience, so I knew, I could not all distract me," he said.
Mark Teixeira led off the second with a single then Hellickson walking Cano and Nick Swisher zone, lost strike. Eric Chavez slammed foul to the catcher before the Posada of the individual.
Watch helped with his father Steve Hellickson in the set, the 24-year-old rookie with a dog named Jeter in a very deliberate pace, but it opened not. New York reached base in each of the five innings he started and only once did Hellickson withdraw, Leadoff dough. He gave up a Homer Granderson to open the fifth, and now he's a Homer 3-8 in games, which as a result against 6-0-if he did not.
"Disappointed, yesterday evening I played especially after the way we," said Hellickson. "I wanted to come, the same do and get another game on these guys." "So, I'm definitely disappointed."
Hellickson was considered if Cano a decentralized double hit. Gomes, his first two batters to go, before Posada connected to right field, sending the crowd in a sustained ovation, when Posada for a curtain pushed ended.
"I'm very happy for him." Jorge has much pride, "said Jeter." "You talk about someone, the to the play is used every day for a long time." He has worked extremely hard and he had a great day. "This is not easy to do if you've played for a while."
Jennings hit a 2-2-open pitch over the left field wall to the sixth and Johnny Damon hit a liner that Brett Gardner went a diving under the glove and ended with triple. Damon scored Ben Zobrist Groundout.
