Royals Edge Yanks 4-3

The New York Yankees lost their last regular season game at Yankee Stadium Wednesday night when they dropped the final game of a 3 game series to the Kansas City Royals 4-3...

Joba Chamberlain did not pitch as was hoped and it remains to be seen what his role in the postseason will be...will he be on the roster for the first round? Will he be the 4th starter if the Yankees get to the 2nd round? We shall see...

Additional Notes:

Joba couldn't make it out of the 4th inning...he threw 3 2/3 innings allowing 3 runs on 7 hits...

Alfredo Aceves pitched 2 scoreless innings in relief...Phil Hughes and Mariano Rivera pitched a scoreless inning each...

Derek Jeter had 2 hits including a lead off home run...Nick Swisher had a 2-run home run...

Tomorrow the Yankees are off...Friday they are in Tampa, Florida for a 3 game series against the Rays...CC Sabathia will be on the hill for the Yanks...he's going for win #2o!
