http://tinyurl.com/5ovc24 BALTIMORE — Darrell Rasner lost his spot in the rotation earlier this month, but got it back when Ian Kennedy pitched poorly in his one-game tryout. He could be in danger again after a shaky outing against the Baltimore Orioles yesterday. Rasner lasted only 3 1/3 innings, giving up five runs (three earned) on eight hits and two walks. "It was a struggle," said Rasner, who has a 5.03 ERA. "I was concentrating on trying to get the ball down and I wasn't able to. I lost feel for breaking stuff and I couldn't get those over early in the count." Rasner, who threw 98 pitches, allowed back-to-back home runs by Melvin Mora and Aubrey Huff in the first inning. Up 7-2 going into the bottom of the fourth inning, he allowed three runs. An error by Derek Jeter on a grounder off the bat of Brian Roberts preceded a single by Nick Markakis that left fielder Xavier Nady misplayed, allowing a run to score. When Rasner walked Mora, that was the end of his day. Rookie David Robertson came in and allowed an RBI double by Huff and a sacrifice fly by Kevin Millar. "I feel terrible," Rasner said after the Yankees came away with an 8-7 win. "The bullpen did a great job to pick me up. I just wish I could have been better. I'm disgusted with how I threw." A-Rod a target: Baltimore starter Daniel Cabrera nearly hit Alex Rodriguez with a pitch in the first inning, and then drilled him in the left arm in the fourth inning. It was the second time this season that Cabrera has hit Rodriguez and the fifth time he has hit a Yankee. Girardi has expressed anger with Cabrera. But it's not like the right-hander has much of an idea where the ball is going. He leads the American League in walks (78), hit batters (18) and wild pitches (14). Cabrera was 3-0 with a 3.15 ERA in three starts against the Yankees earlier this season. But he lasted only 3 2/3 innings this time, allowing seven runs on nine hits with three walks. He threw 95 pitches. Johnny Damon had a three-run homer in the second inning, and Xavier Nady a two-run double in the fourth. Next for Joba: The Yankees are off today. But Joba Chamberlain will report to Yankee Stadium to throw in the bullpen as he continues to recover from a shoulder injury. Chamberlain threw 30 pitches off the mound on Saturday and will be limited to 35 today, a sign that he is not progressing as rapidly as the Yankees are saying. Most pitchers recovering from injuries increase their workload by 15 pitches as they build arm strength. Girardi claimed the Yankees have no plans for Chamberlain beyond today's workout. "We'll see how he does," he said. Right-hander Dan Giese, who is also on the disabled list with a shoulder injury, will throw today as well. Extra bases: Derek Jeter (0 for 5) had his hit streak snapped at nine games. ... Pudge Rodriguez was 1 for 4 and has only three hits in his last 18 at-bats. He has driven in one run in 46 at-bats with the Yankees. ... In what might have been the biggest upset of the day, Carl Pavano reported no injuries after his start on Saturday night. He is scheduled to start against Toronto Friday night at Yankee Stadium. ... The Yankees finished their road trip 4-2. ... The Yankees scored 31 runs during the six games of the road trip. The players said having the same lineup (with the exception of the catcher) helped. "Everything is more settled now," Jason Giambi said. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 122.126.139.153
