WHY CC MONSTER'S IN HIS RHYTHM

CC Monster was amazing tonight and he's in his rhythm now so the wins will keep on coming. Tonight he pitched 7 innings, had 6 strikeouts and gave up 3 runs, none earned. I'll take that all day long. We're going to see more domination from our ace now. He needed do his normal April ritual and now that he has, he's about to get great. So far this season, CC's ERA is 2.25. Beautiful.(photo: Getty)
Don't look now, but Brett Gardner's got 3 home runs this season and if you think it's just luck, think again. When I wrote WHY MECHANICS FIX WILL GET GARDY RIGHT, it had everything to do with Kevin Long discussing Gardner not using his lower body in the batter's box. Guess what, he is now. I don't think it was meant for him to hit homeruns every game, but it was important so Gardner got swinging again, and he is. Nice looking out Kevin Long.

Nick Swisher homered and had four RBI's tonight. Thank God this guy broke his slump.
Swisher hit tonight's homer after 76 at-bats this season. That's long and Kay was even speaking about how Swish was alittle upset he hadn't hit one in a while. So good for him, hopefully he'll get on track now.(photo: Daily News)
Give some credit to Eduardo Nunez who played short tonight and gave Jeet a day off. He had 2 hits, one was a double and 1 was an infield grounder he beat out for a hit. The best part of that was his speed. Batting from the right side, sometimes there is extra time added on to your sprint to first. Not for Nunez, he was lightening. Great hustle. Nunez and Gardner scored three runs apiece, by the way.

Granderson tripled tonight and, Alex had a double... the hitting was hot tonight and the Yankees with the help of their veteran CC Monster did what they were supposed to do, win and split the Series 2-2. If you can't win the Series, you tie it, especially if it's a 4 game Series. You got to love our Yankees right now.

Final Score: Yankees 12 - White Sox 3. Yankees Win... Thhhheeeee Yaaaaannnkkkeeeeess Wiiinnn!!
