Yanks Shutout 6-0 by Canadiens

(The Voice of Yankees Universe)

Joba Chamberlain was dreadful today. Team Canada jumped all over him in the 1st inning, as they scored 5 runs off of him. He had no control, giving up one hit, throwing 4 walks, and he didn’t pick up a strikeout. He had absolutely nothing, and didn’t even record an out in the game. Albaladejo relieved Joba with a two inning appearance. He allowed three inherited runners to score, and one of his own. Kei Igawa came in next and shut down Canada with three scoreless frames. He gave up one hit, and struck out 2 batters. Bruney, Garcia and Cox all pitched well in their appearances. There really isn’t anything to say about the offense, because they only picked up 4 hits on the game.
