CC Sabathia Looking To Get Back In The Win Column As New York Goes For Their 7th Straight Win
After sweeping the series against Chicago in a game that lasted eighteen innings New York was back at Monday when they opened a two -game series at Cincinnati with their ace Masahiro Tanaka on the mound as they routed Cincinnati by a score of 10-4 on their way to their fifth straight win.
Joe Girardi who is a former major league catcher had this to say about his team's performance" It's great," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "It's a tough performance by our guys. Guys are really fatigued. To be able to come and get three [first-inning runs] and let Tanaka go to work, then to get another the next inning and put 10 on the board, it shows you a lot about these guys."

New York and Cincinnati finish their two -game series tonight as New York left -hander CC Sabathia gets the start. He has a record of 2-1 but has had his ups and his downs so far this season that started out great with three sharp outings but suddenly he has gone down hill in his last three starts as he has been crushed as he has a 10.43 earn run average that also included five home runs but the New York offense has bailed him out by scoring 22 runs over his last two starts.
