CC Sabathia had his stuff working through the first four inning before a two hour rain delay force the big lefty out of the game, only to be backed by a strong performance from the Yankees bullpen in a 3-1 victory over the Colorado Rockies.
Sabathia threw only 54 pitches over four innings, allowing only 1 run on one hit, while walking one and striking out two. Not being able to make it to the 5th inning, Sabathia didn't qualify for the win.
The Yankees jumped on Rockies starter Jeff Francis early in the 1st inning when Vernon Wells continued his hothitting in the series by singling home Jayson Nix to give the Yankees a 1-0 lead.
It was a lead that wasn't held for long as Colorado was able to strike back in the bottom 1st on a sac-fly by Carlos Gonzalez. Thats's when Sabathia turned on his game by retiring the next 10 batters before the rains crept in.
With Adam Ottavino pitching for the Rockies after the rain delay, Robinson Cano belted a solo homerun into the bullpen's in right field to put the Yankees up over the Rockies, 3-1. That lead would be large enough for the Yanks bullpen to hold.
Adam Warren, Preston Claiborne, Boone Logan, David Robertson, and Marino Rivera were able to combine for 5 shutout innings, allowing only a total of three hit (all off of Claiborne), to close out the game and seal a Yankees victory in the rubber game of a low scoring series.
Robinson Cano singled in the 3rd, collecting career number 1,500. Mariano's save gave him 13 on the year and is now at his 2nd longest streak to start a season after he saved 28 straight in 2008.
