Yankees vs. White Sox 8/02/11

The Yankees won 6-0 in Chicago. The game was called after six and half innings due to rain. Phil Hughes pitched a great 6 scoreless innings. He got the win on the night with 4 Ks. He had good velocity on his fastball. Joe Girardi was very impressed with Hughes start. This is going to make things very difficult with deciding on who to keep for the pitching rotation. Right now they have a six man rotation with Nova going on thursday. At some point it will come down to Hughes or Nova for a five man rotation. I ask the question again Hughes or Nova? I really like Nova but Hughes did pitch very good last night. The only thing that makes it not so great was that it was against the White Sox. It will be very intresting to see how Nova does on Thursday.

Also big news on the night Mark Teixeira sets a record for with HRs from both sides of the plate. Making a major league record 12th time tuesday night. Thats not easy to do! Also Russel Martin had a long solo homerun. I really like both of these two players. Thats why both are on my fantasy team. So it was a good night for me with the both of them combining for 3 HRs and 4 RBIs.
