ALDS - '09 Bombers drop '05 Tribe in 4

Game 1 - New Yankee Stadium
Westbrook vs Sabathia
Yankees 3, Indians 2 
C.C. was Good-Good as the Yankees scored solo runs in the 1st, 2nd and 5th innings.  When C.C. hit his 118th pitch he was replaced by David Robertson, who pitched a scoreless 8th then handed the ball off to Mo who threw a perfect 9th.  Johnny Damon had the only long ball in the game.  Jeter/Damon/Cano all were 2 for 4, with Damon scoring twice.
Yankees lead series 1-0

Game 2
Lee vs Burnett
Yankees 4, Indians 3

Fans up in the "Big Ball Orchard up in the Bronx" were treated to a second one run victory.  The usually fragile A.J. Burnett gave his team 7 solid innings (6 hits / 2 ER), then let the pen do the work.  Phil Coke was perfect in the 8th and like clockwork Mo fanned 2 and was his perfect self in the 9th.  Tex and Godzilla each went yard.  On the day Mark Teixeira was 2-4, knocking in 3 of New York's 4 runs.
Yankees lead series 2-0

Game 3 - Jacobs Field
Pettitte vs Sabathia
Indians 6, Yankees 1Cleveland's only win of the season was so convincing local scribes neglected to write about it in the original series synopsis.  The Tribe jumped out to a 3-0 lead off of Andy Pettitte in the bottom of the 2nd and never looked back.  A two spot in the 7th and a solo run in the 8th sealed the deal.  Cleveland's C.C. Sabathia (7IP / 1 ER) was superb fanning 7 and walking just 1.  Their balanced offensive attack produced 6 runs on 11 hits.
Yankees lead series 2-1
 
Game 4 - Jacobs Field
Hughes vs Millwood
Yankees 2, Indians 1

En route to the sweep the Bronx Bombers rattled off their 3rd consecutive 1 run victory.  Strategically manager Michael Hopcroft saved Phil Hughes for the bigger ballpark and his young righty did not disappoint.  Hughes went 6 innings and gave up just 1 run then sat back and watched Aceves (7th) and Robertson (8th) pitch scoreless innings in relief.  Then for good measure, Mo came on board and struck out the side in the 9th for the series clincher.  Kevin Millwood (2 runs over 8 IP) was more than just the hard luck loser.  He should by all accounts be a sore loser since he threw 119 pitches, gave up just 3 runs and go no support whatsoever.  Millwood was tossing up goose eggs until the top of the 7th when A-roid hit an uncharacteristic clutch 2 out 2 run shot.  That bomb turned out to be the difference maker as the Bombers sweep a series that featured 3 straight one run games.
Yankees win series 3-0
