A-Rod
continued his mutilation of pitches over the plate last night, and, after launching his sixth homer of the season, he was intentionally walked for the first time this year. If Alex keeps hitting

Johnny D also had a homer, his first of the year, and with it came his first few RBI. Melky Cabrera finally snapped out of his slump and went 3-4 with a 2-out, RBI-single in the second.

The Yanks face Ramon Ortiz tonight as they go for the sweep... Mussina is on the hill for the Yanks and is hoping to make it three consecutive stellar starts for the New York rotation.
