Sox sweep

The Yankees swept the White Sox today with another drubbing, this time an 8-3 win to top a weekend in which New York outscored Chicago 23-5.

With starter Joba Chamberlain only going three innings as the Yankees increase his workload to that of a fulling starting pitcher again, the bullpen had a creative afternoon, with five pitchers combining to close the last six innings.

Chicago held New York to a 3-2 lead from the third inning on, until the bottom of the seventh, when the Yankees exploded for five runs. The rally was capped by Mark Teixeira, who hit a towering home run (his 32nd of the season) to score three. Teixeira now leads the American League with 101 RBIs.

The win was New York's 82nd, and the Yankees sport no signs of slowing up as they head into Baltimore and Toronto for the next week.

I'll have more to say about the New York's season as a whole in my next post, but for now, how 'bout them Yankees?
