Pitching, Just Enough Offense Lift Yankees Over Mets

Posted by Jim Morrison on May 16 2010 at 05:00PM PDT


Foiled by offspeed pitches much of the game, the Yankees scored two in the initial frame and rode a complete-game two-hitter by Danny DeSmit to a 2-0 win over the Mets. DeSmit needed just 73 pitches and struck out nine.

The Mets never got a runner beyond second base.

After Jack Broach drilled a fly ball straight to the center fielder to open the game, Ryan Dixon started the Bombers with a walk in the first inning. Devon Donis grounded a ball and was safe at first. With two runners on, DeSmit flared a ball to right field scoring both runners.

The Yankees threatened in the second inning, loading the bases, then again in the sixth inning, loading the bases, but were unable to come up with an RBI
