Houtson A Broomtown For Yanks

The Yankees completed the sweep of the Houston Astros on Sunday by beating them 13-0. Yankee offense pounded out 16 hits on the afternoon, which included home runs by Alex Rodriguez and Jorge Posada...

Johnny Damon had 3 hits for the second game in a row and, including Damon, 6 players had multi-hit games...Alex Rodriguez, Jorge Posada and Robinson Cano had 3 RBIs apiece...

Unfortunately, though, the news out of Houston wasn't all good for the Yanks...In the 6th inning, Chien-Ming Wang who had pitched 5 full innings of shutout ball good enough to earn his 8th win of the year, injured his right foot rounding 3rd base...at this point the extent of his injury remains unknown, but if he should miss more than a start or two, well...let's just hope for the best...

Additional Notes:

Ohlendorf, Ramirez, Hawkins and Giese pitched a scoreless inning each in relief of the injured Wang...

The Yankees are off tomorrow and open up a 3 game series against the Padres on Tuesday at Yankee Stadium...Andy Pettitte will pitch the first game of that series...

Let's Go Yanks!!!!
