Playing the A's has been a real treat for the Yankees this year. NY won 6 out of the 8 games, and Oakland was nice enough not to burden the Bombers with having to get Holliday and Giambi out after the first series (Giambi is hurt and Holliday was left to languish in the light-hitting National League).
Today was a treat because Oakland played the Yankees tough and provided a nice tune-up for the big series in Boston that awaits.
Of course, the series could be bigger. But Boston is a whopping 7 games back (just 6 in the loss column), so even an extremely unlikely Fenway sweep would only bring the PED Sox to 4 games out.
Anyway, much more about that later. Today Gaudin pitched 4.1 shutout innings and got just enough support from Jeter, Teixeira, Hughes and Mariano to get the win.
