First, the Yankees bats lit up, then the pitchers started to shine. A day after CC Sabathia led the Yanks to a 9-1 three-hitter win, A.J. Burnett tosses seven innings of one-hit ball to guide the Bombers to a 5-0 victory.
New York firing on all cylinders will be hard to stop; let's hope this trend dominates the next couple months, with slumping losses to teams such as the Nationals far behind.

Yep, Yep Yankees
Tonight's Yankee win was another come-from-behind victory as New York topped the visiting Washington Nationals 5-3. The Yankees put enough runs across the plate just in time for CC Sabathia to get his sixth win of the season, and Brian Bruney (a successful early-season reliever before time on the DL) and Mo Rivera cleaned up to secure the win.
Robinson Cano (4-for-4, 2 RBI) led the Yankee sluggers.

15-0.
The Yankees light it up in a 15-0 win over the Mets, and this was no flukish short-right-porch home run derby.
Derek Jeter went 4-for-4 and knocked in a couple runs, Robinson Cano was 3-for-4 with three RBI, and Johnny Damon went 2-for-4 with another three RBI. Best yet, A.J. Burnett produced a quality start for New York, going seven innings and striking out eight, while only walking four (although the staff probably prefers that he saves these gems for when the lineup produces less runs).
The team batted .459 today, with 17 hits, including doubles from Damon, Cano, and Melky Cabrera (who laced two). Once again, the Yankees stranded a load of runners (21), but when you're scoring 15 runs, that seems excusable.
New York gets a day off tomorrow, then its three games against the lowly Washington Nationals (16-45) before heading back on the road to face the Marlins next weekend.
