Rocket really came through tonight, he made his money. I mean, the guy is never going to be the 95 MPH fireballer anymore. I guess us fans are just going to have to accept that. But today he was hitting his spots, and had that split fingered fastball, his strikeout pitch, working the whole game. Two hits in eight innings of work, with one undeserved run for the Twins coming off of a wild pitch on a strikeout of Torii Hunter, that in my opinion should have been ruled a passed ball. That is Rocket's 350th career win, quite a milestone.
For the Yankees, this was a big win...but only if they can build on it. Too many times this season have I seen them come up with a potential building block win only to eventually fall on their faces. This win was good on both the offensive and pitching sides. Only setback may be a huge one. Alex Rodriguez strained his hamstring and if he has to miss any significant time you can just end the season for the Yankees officially.
