Today's Line-ups Yankees vs A's (04/22/10)

What can we Yankee faithfuls say about Hughes start last night, except for BRILLIANT!!! Phil Hughes had the best outing of  his career last night. Hughes had 10 K’s and 1 hit thru 7 1/3 innings. The only hit he gave up was to Eric Chavez, who hit a liner back to Hughes, breaking up the no-hitter in bottom of the 8th. The last time Hughes had such an outing was back in May of 2007 when he was also pitching a no-no against the Texas Rangers, taking him into the 7th inning when the unthinkable happened… a hamstring injury.

Also, Yankees skipper Joe Girardi announced yesterday that Joba Chamberlain will be the 8th inning man, setting up for Mariano Rivera.

New York Yankees: (11-3)

Derek Jeter SS
