The Yankees honored Tino Martinez before the game today by inducting him into Monument Park and unveiling his plaque. It sounds like it was a nice ceremony, and it was easily the high point of the game with glorified home run derby pitcher Vidal Nuno on the mound.
Game Notes:
- Nuno gave up a solo HR to Adam Jones in the 1st inning, a 2-run shot to Nelson Cruz in the 4th, and another 2-run job to Steve Pearce in the 5th.
- The lone Yankee run came on a Mark Teixeira solo homer in the bottom of the 4th. That was the only real dent they made against Bud Norris and the Baltimore bullpen.
- Jose Ramirez relieved Nuno after 6.1 innings and continued the home run parade by giving up a solo shot to J.J. Hardy in the 8th, the 4th of the day for Baltimore.
F*ck Yeah:
- Teix: 1-4, 1 HR, 1 R, 1 RBI. Blah.
Oh Nos:
- Nuno: 6.1 IP, 6 H, 5 R (4 ER), 2 BB, 4 K. Triple blah. That's now 13 home runs allowed in 12 starts.
Series finale tomorrow afternoon. It'd be nice to get another win against a divisional opponent.
