The New York Yankees took game two of the World Series 3-1 to level the scores. AJ Burnett pitched a gem. In 7 seven strong innings he gave up one earned run to a Matt Stairs RBI single in the 2nd inning. The run could've been unearned as A-Rod should probably have stopped the ball and been scored an error. Burnett picthed 9 Ks and looked dominant.
Another huge free agency signing from last year's off season, Mark Teixeira hit a 440ft bomb from Pedro Martinez in the 4th inning. The Yankees spent $420m on the salaries of Teixera, Burnett and CC Sabathia. The exorbitant salary increase on the roster is looking like it is going to pay immediate dividends as all 3 performed well in the clutch this post season.
Pedro Martinez pitched pretty well for Phillies in 6+ innings giving up three earned runs. Two solo blasts were detrimental in his pitching effort. Ahead of Jay-Z and Alicia Key's performance, Pedro was jeered upon entering the playing field.
