Houston, We Have A Starter!

Joba Chamberlain's pitching performance Friday night perhaps offered a glimpse of the good things we can expect to see from him as a full-fledged starter. He pitched well enough to keep the Houston offense grounded-allowing just 1 run over 6 innings. His control wasn't perfect and he did give up 6 hits, but the bottom line is this:

When you allow only 1 run over 6 innings-that's a quality start every time...

It's too bad the Yankee offense couldn't come through sooner, because Joba deserved to win this one...

Additional Notes:

The difference in the game came courtesy of a Derek Jeter solo home run in the 8th that broke a 1-1 tie...

Jose Veras pitched a scoreless 7th and 8th....he's looking more and more like the 8th inning solution...

Believe it or not Kyle Farnsworth preserved the 2-1 Yankee lead by pitching a scoreless 9th-the effort earned him his first save since 2006...Mo has worked so much lately, he needed a break-luckily Farnsworth succeeded...

Tomorrow Moose will try for yet another quality start...

Let's Go Yanks!!!!!
