Yanks can't hit 1st time starter (shocking)

Could anybody have been surprised that high drama entered into the equation when A-Rod strutted to the plate in the ninth inning last night?

The Yankees trailed the Indians by three runs with two on and two outs on Rodriguez’ 35th birthday and the cleanup hitter looking to become the seventh player in history to reach 600 homers.

Chris Perez’ first pitch was a called a strike as the Progressive Field crowd buzzed.

The next one sucked all the drama out of the night when Rodriguez hit a grounder to short that gave the Indians a 4-1 victory in front of 27,416.

“It would have been a fantastic present,” Rodriguez said of a game-tying three-run homer that would have allowed Rodriguez to start a march to 700.

Rodriguez, who went 0-for-4 and is 6-for-21 since hitting homer No. 599 on Thursday, admitted some bad habits are starting to enter his swings.(NY Post)

No surprise Yanks couldn't hit Tomlin. Last 5 starters making their MLB debut against the Yanks, none lost. Check out www.thefantasybaseballguru.com leave comments ask qs and tell me what you think.
