Yu Darvish laid out a dazzling performance as he shut out the Yankees for 8+ innings. With ten strike outs he made the usually potent Yankees offence look silly.
Its no secret that the Yankees struggle against pitchers the first time they see them. As good as Darvish looked I noticed as well as the guys on the MLB network that he was tipping his pitches. He holds his hands at a different height for his fastball, slider and change. This is something that I’m certain will be brought to his attention and he will have to make the adjustment or he will start to get shelled Jeter had a hit to extend his streak to 14 straight games. Jeter is batting .416 with 3 HR and 13 RBI’s Jeter is off to the best start of his career and seems to be running the bases like he did when he was 25 years old. Every year people say how Jeter is diminishing and question how much longer he will be able to play short stop and every year he shows them that they are wrong.
The results of Michael Pineda’s MRI have not been released yet and he has already requested a second opinion. Kind of odd if you ask me but we will have to wait until we hear more before I render a clear opinion on the matter. Overshadowed by Darvish being great was the fact that Kudora was really really good giving up two runs over 6.2 innings. These two teams will meet again tomorrow night when Scott Feldman will be making a spot start for the Rangers, due to a double header this weekend , and Phil Hughes will attempt to build off his win last time out and try and pitch a little deeper than 5.2 innings. Side note: Jeter rakes against Feldman, just sayin.

The Yankees have scored a total of three runs in their last 18 offensive innings, and two of those three came on a Curtis Granderson homer that a fan may or may not have kept out of Xavier Avery’s glove on Tuesday. The only run they scored against Kyle Drabek — who entered the game with the ninth worst FIP (5.09) out of 118 qualified starters — came when Mark Teixeira ‘s ground ball took a funny hop over first baseman Edwin Encarnacion in the sixth. Robinson Cano ‘s double down the right field line one batter earlier was the only hard-hit ball I can remember. From the Yankees, that is.

First thanks for reading. Secondly I feel that the Yankees offence is about to break out. They are getting plenty of base runners just not getting the hits at the right time. I feel that they are entering a stretch of thier schedule where they may see some very hittable pitchers, hopefully this will help them break out of thier clutch slump. All it will take is one good game.
