derekjeter64 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 First I would like to say that I write the match reports on German and then let these translate into English by a second-rate translator. The cadre changes Gonzales had to leave the Yankees to the new season. For him Freddy Garcia came. A good starter which shall overcome the problems in the Pitching. Furthermore Carl Pavano was fetched by the Minor League team into the first team. Andi Pettite had to leave the team in the exchange against Miguel Tejada and Valverde. First game against Tempa Bay Tampa Bay gives the victory to Yankees ripped off. The NY Yankees have successfully started in the new season. The Yankees go in leadership against the Rays and don't given up the lead til the end of the ballgame. The first appearance of Tejada proceeding as DH was with 4 singles more than turned out well. Tejada comes home directly the first in the season home by the RBI single of Alex Rodriguez in the first inning. Also in the 2nd inning the Yankees manage to obtain a point, as Melky Cabrera sac Fly contributes one for point number 2. The first two innings don't take place the Devil Rays at all. They don't find any remedy against the good starter Chamberlain which could mark his first victory of the season. This Chamberlain is just shaking in the 3rd inning. Headcoach Neumann adheres, however, to his Pitcher which collects 2 rushes in the 3rd inning. A beautiful RBI double of Iwamura as well as a more unsuccessfully pick off attempt are to blame for the Devil Rayss compensating. However, rush Homer by Alex Rodriguez provides the renewed leadership a lovely 3 in half the inning following on this. The game splashes so there and Valverde comes in the 7th Inning for the good starter Chamberlain. With the change the game gets, however, thrilling once again. Rush lets Homer of Upton rejoice the Devil Rays one 2. But still the Yankees would drive with 2 rushes. Mariano Rivera comes still in the 8th inning and can bad prevent. The leadership of the Yankees shakes also in the last inning once again when Rivera allows 2 hits. But he remains cool also in this phase and fetches the first save of the still young season.
