Keep Your Brooms Out!

The Sox continue their domination of the Yankees by taking both games of a two game series in their first visit to New Yankee stadium. Boston jumps out early with 4 runs in the first before being shut down by Joba Chamberlain who had 12 Ks in only 5 1/3 innings. The 7-3 victory last night and the 6-4 victory on Monday night ran Bostons' record against the Yankees this season to 5-0. On a side notes, Youk and Ellsbury are both ailing. Now we wait to see what the diagnoses is.

The Reds shut out the Marlins last night on another stellar performance by Edinson Volquez who pitched eight only giving up 3 hits and striking out 7. This runs his consecutive scoreless innings to 16. Brandon Phillips decided to get in on the action and provide 6 of the 7 RBI. Maybe thios will be the spark Phillips need to get his season on track. Volquez has given up a total of 1 run in 3 of his last 4 starts and struckout 20. Let's hope this trend continues.
