The bats did not come alive we lose this ball game 3-0.
Yankees:
Quote:
The Yankees got two hits from Jorge Posada but little else behind Darrell Rasner, who allowed three runs and lasted five innings, throwing 78 pitches, in his second loss. Derek Jeter extended his hit streak to seven games as the Yankees were shut out for just the second time this season.
Mariners:
Quote:
Making his second start against the Yankees in a week, Jarrod Washburn tossed eight shutout innings before handing off for J.J. Putz's eighth save in as many opportunities. Kenji Johjima's fourth homer was more than enough support for Washburn.

The Yankees got a light performance from their offense for the second time in three games, spoiling a strong effort from Andy Pettitte, who pitched into the eighth inning and allowed two runs. Alex Rodriguez struck out with two runners on to end the eighth.
