This was a good early-season duel between CC Sabathia and Chien-Ming Wang. Sabathia gave up a leadoff single to Johnny Damon and walked A-Rod later in the first, but then set down the Yankees through the fourth sans a Ryan Garko error. In the fifth, Robinson Cano beat out an infield single, but Sabathia picked him off before he even threw a pitch to Melky Cabrera. Good thing too, as Cabrera hit the next pitch out for a homer. That would be the game’s only run, as for the rest of the game the only blemish on the lines of Sabathia and reliever Masa Kobayashi were a Jeter double. On the other side, Wang retired the last four batters he faced, and then Joba Chamberlain and Mariano Rivera closed it out with a pair of perfect innings.
