Don't get me wrong...this is Cano's game. In the 10th inning with two outs, Robby Cano came to the plate with the chance to win the game with a hit. And for the second time in August, he came though with a momentous walk-off, (this one a missile into the Yankee bullpen in right) to lead the Yankees to victory.But I think the key today was Sabathia, as he has been for many weeks now. In this game CC struck out ten over 7 innings and gave up just two runs. In the process he lead his team to victory against one of the top pitchers in the American league (Buehrle), in another clash of aces.
CC keeps winning these clashes. In the month of August he has taken down Buehrle twice, Josh Beckett, and Clay Buckholtz. And in every game he started this month, the Yankees won.
Though Jeter and the offense have been red hot, the Yankee MVP could easily be CC Sabathia for August, simply because he has had the most impact on and has given the Yankees the best chances to win the most difficult games of the month.
Here are the highlights from this decisive victory over a team that really took it to the Yankees last time they met in Chicago. This time, the Bombers struck back.
Jeter's leadoff jolt.
Damon Destruction.
Cano's clutchness.
