A win, in a must win game.
Tom Glavine improves to 7-2 even though he didn't have a good game. Runners were constantly on base because he was pitching like the Tom Glavine of old...don't throw strikes because they might hit them. He got himself into a lot of trouble but was lucky in a few situations. He also got unlucky because David Wright could have and should have fielded Jeter's ground ball that ended up being a 2-run single.
But David Wright made up for it with a monster home run into a strong wind.
Delgado of course continues to hit big home runs. There's nothing like giving up 2 runs and getting a 3 run homer in the next inning.
The bullpen was very shaky last night as all three pitchers seemed afraid to throw strikes to the powerful Yankees lineup. The Yankees also got lucky a few times, Bernie Williams double, and singles by Damon and Jeter probably didn't even travel 100 feet combined.
I'll have more on this series and on Alex Rodriguez in future posts.
