After losing Roger Clemens because of a hamstring injury and falling behind 3-0, Johnny Damon and the Yankees bats came alive to help the Yankees win 8-4. After Clemens left in the 3rd inning, Phil Hughes came in and shut down the Tribe for his 3.2 innings. He gave up only 2 hits and had 4 strikeouts. Joba Chamberlain came in after Hughes and pitched 2 innings and Mariano Rivera finished the game with a perfect 9th. The Yankees took the lead for good in the 5th inning behind a 3 run homerun by Johnny Damon, who was 3-4 with 4 RBIs.
Tonight the Yankees send Chien-Ming Wang to the mound to try and send the series back to Cleveland. The Indians will counter with Paul Byrd.
Go Yankees!!
