WORLD SERIES GAME 2
YANKEES TAKE A COMMANDING LEAD IN WS!
The Pirates tried to take the initiative early on by scoring early in the game, but wasn't enough to hold off the hot Yankees. The Yankees are peaking at the right time while the Pirates seem to in a rut. The only ones hitting for Pittsburgh are Clemente and Stargell. Once they get on base, the bottom half leaves them stranded on base.
Andy Pettitte pitched effective enough with help from Joba Chamberlain and a save from Mo Riveria. After the 1st inning blast, the Pirates had no offense to back Clemente and Stargell. Steve Blass pitched ok but he had a couple bad innings. Robbie Cano took advantage in the 4th and made the Pirates pay. The Yankees take a commanding 2-0 series lead back to Yankee Stadium for a night game in the Bronx.
