At this early point in the season, last night's was a big win for the Yankees. They slugged their way to a victory in a game they were not necessarily supposed to win, given the pitching matchup. Each game the Yankees win while the 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th starters are on the mound gives the team an edge going forward and helps mitigate the impact of the slew of injuries this season.
Now, the Yankees need to win at least one of the next two games, both to finally win a series and to remain at .500 before the Red Sox get to town with their big guns going this weekend.
