Yankees visit to Pittsburg; starts off with a crash and burn, but rookie leaves his mark

The Bronx bombers weren't bombing . . . as Ras fell apart letting up 7 runs in five innings followed by Latroy Hawkens letting up five runs in the seventh and eighth but Edwar got charged for one of them. the week and a half streak of sure fire pitching has come to an abrupt stop, letting up 19 hits and 12 runs. On the other end of the ball Rasner was a walk machine. he had his two first major league at bats and drew two walks, without even swinging the bat. As far as the bats were concerned, Cano hit an RBI single trying to raise his average that has been stuck in the disappointing .220 range which he has been stuck at for the better part of this season, leaving him a boat load of work to do if he is going to return to his usual season average of .300, and ROOKIE JUSTIN CHRISTIAN went 2-4 in his major league debut with an RBI single and a 2RBI double, giving him a not too shabby average of 500 and a collection of 2 RBIs in his first MLB game. The Yanks entered the ninth with a score of 3-12 in the pirates favor, and Yankee fans everywhere were teased by Bobby abreu' s 2 out 2 run homer to decrease the defacet to seven, but A-rod ended the game and his ten game hitting streak by grounding out a few times.
