What makes a team great? Consistency. Consistency to win. Sure, once in a while a team can lose a game, but in the end, if they win a series and every series in a season for instance, they make the playoffs. If they feed off of each other, if they push each other to do better, or win after a loss like they did tonight, things happen. Winning happens and consistency happens. That's baseball... that's my New York Yankees.
Yesterday was forgotten and the Yankees won tonight and I'm not going to nail every highlight but I'll tell you this, they looked good.
Hiroki Kuroda is 4-1 this season and that's not by mistake. He's actually good although, I need to tell you that he struggled early but figured out ways to escape danger. That's the sign of a good pitcher. Tonight he went 7 innings, allowed only 4 hits and stuck out 8. It's also important to note that he walked 4.
David Robertson and
Shawn Kelley each gave up 2 earned runs each, but they Astros only scored 4 to the Yankees mighty 7.
Lyle Overbay homered tonight again, this time it was his 4th of the season.
Travis Hafner was 3 for 4 tonight with 3 RBIs and a walk. Even
Brennan Boesch beat out a fielders choice! It's the little things that add up to wins. These are the guys that are putting together a run in pinstripes worth remembering.
The final tonight:
Yankees 7 - Astros 4.
I'm tired, but I'm happy. The Yankees won and now I head home after a long day. Sleep tight... don't let the bed bugs bite.
