It's about time.
Things were not looking good when Karstens left the game with an injury in the first inning with two on, no outs.
Igawa came in and pitched an absolute gem. He velocity was great (92 MPH). His location was good, for the most part. He struggled with some walks but he was hitting his spots in some tough situations. He also had some wicked movement on his pitches today. An all around great performance. It is amazing to see a guy pitch an amazing game with no pre-game preparation. Igawa probably earned back his spot in the rotation today.
The offense, yet again, was a bit stagnant. Posada finished off a great at-bat with a very nice piece of hitting. Many hitters would have taken that pitch and lined it into 3rd base line stands.
Bruney came in and very nicely worked out of trouble. Farnsworth gave us cause for concern with wild location, but got some calls on the outside corner of the plate to work the final K in the 8th.
Rivera looked like his old self. He gave up one of those bloop hits he is prone to from time to time, which certainly is not a problem. His velocity was good, location was great and the ol' cutter was back.
Great game by the Yanks. Hopefully this starts a new, and more positive, streak!
