Roger Clemens pitched a two-hitter for six innings. The Yankees won 9-2 tonight against Toronto. But the highlight of the game was that Joba Chamberlain pitched for the first time in the MLB and for the New York Yankees. The New York Yankees have a lot of young pitchers in their organization but they have moved up Joba at a rapid rate.
In the eighth inning, Chamnberlain struck out Olmeda, then Johnson grounded out. Lyle Oberlay walked and then Alex Rios singled to right field. Wells then flied out and Chamberlain had his first inning pitched in the majors. The Yankees went with Chamberlain in the 9th with a 9-2 lead. Thigpen stuck out, Luna walked and then Hill hit into a double play. Chamberlain had two innings pitched, two KO's, two walks, one hit and NO runs.
Shane Komine pitched for the Giants a couple of times but Chamberlain looks like he could stay in the major leagues for a while.
Are you a Yankee fan yet? You have to admit it will be fun to follow his progress.

I am definetly not a Yankees fan but I may watch the Yankees more often for this reason.
