Game Two is tense
Posted October 5th, 2007 by Pat McManamon
It's the fourth inning and the Indians bats have yet to wake up. Jhonny Peralta was thrown out at home in the second inning by 10 feet. Jason Michaels was stranded at third in the third. Travis Hafner was at second with one out in the fourth, but went no farther.
This is what the Yankees wanted from Andy Pettitte, who has started 35 postseason games and three previous ALDS Game Twos following Yankees first-game losses. In those three games, Pettite had a 1.98 ERA.
Pettite might not get deep into the game, though, so the Indians best hope if they keep stranding runners might be to take advantage of the Yankees bullpen.
