Big W

Big win last night for the Yankees. It has been rare this year to see the Yankees go on losing streaks. Last night they stopped the possibility of a three game skid with a 7-2 victory over the A's. C.C. Sabathia was great as he pitched eight innings and was able to get his 14th win of the season. With the way he's been pitching lately, there's still an outside chance that he will win 20 games. What a feat that would be in his first season as a Yankee.

The Yanks square off against the A's tonight in the series finale. They then have tomorrow off to travel and go into Boston for another three game series with their arch rival.

The Yankees have an opportunity to basically put the division away if they sweep in Boston. They would have a 10 game lead in the AL East.
