April 10, 2014 - Yankees vs. Red Sox (Game 10)
Starting lineup
CF - Jacoby Ellsbury (.225, 2, 6)

DH - Alfonso Soriano (.250, 1, 6)

3B - Yangervis Solarte (.300, 2, 7)
SP - Michael Pineda (0-1, 5.40)
If you told me before the game that Michael Pineda would pitch 6 innings, give up 6 hits, and strike out 7 I would have been pretty happy. Especially when we were taking on a starting pitcher (Felix Doubront) who was entering the game with a 19.29 ERA.
Unfortunately for Pineda four of those five hits were home runs. They were all solo shots, but Pineda left the game trailing 4-0 because Doubront shut us down for 6 1/3 innings...of course.
Vidal Nuno came on to pitch the final three innings, and held the Red Sox to just one run, but we just couldn't hit today, and managed to score just one run all game as we lost to the Red Sox.
Season Record: 4-6
2014 Yankees Record: 5-5
Heroes
The former Red Sox on the team, Jacoby Ellsbury and Stephen Drew combined to go 4-8 with one RBI and one run scored. Ellsbury hit a triple, which was our only extra base hit.
Goats
Ichiro, Alfonso Soriano, Mark Teixeira, Brian Roberts, and Yangervis Solarte combined to go 0-17 with 7 strikeouts. It wasn't our best offensive showing.
