The Yankees came back home to open up their end of the ALCS and even with big-game Andy Pettitte on the mound, they couldn’t defeat Cliff Lee.
The Rangers, behind their ace, put up two early runs and rode Lee to victory. Lee was unhittable and didn’t even allow a hit until the fifth inning.
The Rangers’ offense exploded in the ninth for six additional runs as Texas took a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series. Here’s a report card, breaking down every angle of the Rangers’ 8-0 win.
