Tuesday Night, GameNotes Part 1
Top of the 7th at Yankee Stadium in a game that's going as advertised. Chien-Ming Wang and his National League alter-ego Brandon Webb are inducing ground balls and keeping runs off the board, as they typically do.
Both pitchers look at the top of their game. Webb has been stymied by one bad fastball in the middle of the zone to Bobby Abreu, which led to the Yankees only runs. They're up 3-1.
My guess is that this is the last inning for Wang. He's at about 90 pitches now; Myers and Proctor are up in the bullpen; and Arizona has just hit two hard balls for center, albeit for outs.
Already a big night in baseball tonight with Justin Verlander throwing a no-hitter for the Tigers, and in the process cementing my belief that the team the Yankees are really chasing is the Cleveland Indians; suffice to say I think Detroit is going to end up winning the A.L. Central when all is said and done.
Two on, two outs for the Diamondbacks now.
Nice play by Jeter on a liner to short. Just got it at the top of his jump as it was going by him on the back-hand side.
3-1 going to the bottom of the 7th.
