Matsui has the best numbers of any Yankee against Boston in 2009. He continues to make them pay, time after time. In addition, he has quietly put together the best season of any Yankee designated hitter as he approaches 30 home runs.
Brian Bruney, who recently switched his uniform number to No. 99, was perfect in relief. Move over Rick Vaughn, the new “Wild Thing” has been lights out. Bruney provided a sparkling 1 2/3 out of the pen and gave way to Phil Coke, one of the unsung heroes of the bullpen this year. Coke delivered once again, striking out David Ortiz to end the inning. Big spot with the revitalized Ortiz taking a shot at tying the game with one swing.
Mark Teixeira homered in the ninth and now, Mariano Rivera is making his way to the mound to close the door.
