During the Red Sox annual visit to the Bronx and one of the most exciting match up in sports The Red Sox were playing against The New York Yankees where the young talented Joba Chamberlin faced off against the man with the best knuckle ball in base ball Tim Wakefield. Two completely opposite pitcher Joba looks to astonish batters with his unbelievable fastball while Tim wants to get batters swinging at his sluggish knuckleball. Joba Chamberlin`s last outing in the Bronx was against the Texas Rangers at July 01 2008 where he pitched only 4 innings but had had a outrageous pitch count at 91 pitches. Joba pitched 6 innings giving up 3 runs all 3 runs which came at the 5th inning where the Red Sox rallied to get the lead. Joba also walked 4 batters and struck out 5 batters in the 6 innings of pitching.
In the second inning when Alex Rodriguez was about to make history when he hit the homerun to tie Mickey Mantle on the all time homerun list at 536 homeruns. At the 7th inning when the Yankees were down 2 – 4 when Robinson Cano hit a triple and scored both Alex Rodriguez and Jorge Posada to tie the game at 4 a piece. The Yanks closer Mariano Rivera came in at the top of the 9th inning and kept the score tied up at 4 with an inning ending the inning with Manny Ramirez down looking. The Yanks couldn’t tie the game at the bottom of the 9th against Hideki Okajima and Mo had a 1 - 2 - 3 inning to hold up The Red Sox from scoring. The Red Sox put their all star closer Jonathan Papelbon, Robinson Cano who was slumping hit a single to start the inning than Melky Cabrera bunted Robinson Cano to 2nd base with a sacrifice bunt than Wilson Betemit with 2 outs it was all up to the rook Brett Gardner was up to bat took 2 strikes then fouled 2 pitches off than took 2 balls than fouled off another pitch and then the rook stepped up and got the game winning RBI scoring Robinson Cano. Tune in on YES (Yankees Sports Network) at July 8, 2008 against the hot Tampa Bay Devil Rays.
