Porcello killed by Yanks.
Rick Porcello showed that he is a 20 year old rookie Wednesday night at Comerica Park. He was clobbered time and time again by the Yankees. His final line is not good: 3.2 IP, 6 H, 6 ER, 3 BB, 1 SO. Compare that with the somewhat-more-seasoned Jaba Chamberlain of NY: 7.0 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 3 BB, 6 SO. It only took Chamberlain 88 pitches to get through 7 innings, where it took Rick 75 just for 3 2/3 innings. No contest.
The offense once again was non-existent until they made it interesting in the 9th after Curtis smoked a 3 run HR off Mariano Rivera. Had Placido been able to scratch out a base hit, it would have brought up Magglio representing the potential tying run, but he couldn't do it.
Day off today, then they play the first of 13 straight divisional games (versus Indians, versus Twins, @ Chicago, @ Cleveland, @ Minnesota). These 13 games will tell us a lot as to how our team stacks up against the AL Central competition.
