Hughes is Effective, Yankees Win March 25, 2008

Phil Hughes had a good outing yesterday, pitching 5 innings and allowing 3H, 3ER, 2BB, and 6K’s. The WHIP is good, but he used 86 pitches for 5 innings, meaning he needs to be more economical. The Yankees roughed up the Phillies, 13-4, and former Twins top prospect JD Durbin got the worst of it, surrendering 6ER and a 3-run to Robinson Cano and a solo shot to Melky Cabrera in the fifth inning.
Overall, though, the Yankees’ offense was clicking, as they had 19 hits and three homeruns (Jason Giambi homered off Jamie Moyer in the third). Mariano Rivera was sharp, striking out the side and walking one. Billy Traber allowed a run, but the lefty job is essentially his anyway. LaTroy Hawkins was also sharp, and Brian Bruney made his case for the last spot in the bullpen with a scoreless 9th inning.
