Including Wednesday night's demolition of the vaunted Yankees lineup, Erik Bedard has put up a 2.09 ERA since May 1. The Canadian is good.
He shut out the Yankees 4-0 on Wednesday with 7 innings of shutout ball as well as 8 k's. His opponent had a little less going for him.
Roger Clemens pitched well for 5 innings but fell apart in the 6th, allowing four runs, including a 3 run homer by Aubrey Huff. The Rocket's ERA jumped to 5.32 with the loss, further justifying his outlandish contract. For all of the talk about Joe Torre being on the hot seat, its unconscionable to think that Brian Cashman may outlast him.
Bedard meanwhile is the foundation for what is turning out to be one of the best rotations in baseball halfway through the year.
The struggles continue for Bobby Abreu as well as he continues his slump that has now seen him go 6 for 47 with a .146 average during that time. Not quite the impact player the Yanks had in mind one year ago.
The Yankees are now 1-7 in their past 8 and have one more against Baltimore on Thursday than head home to host the A's, the Twins and the Angels. Its not getting any easier folks.
