Michael Pineda pitched his best game since his lauded Mother's Day start last year, and the Yankees walk off in the ninth on a passed ball.
I said in the game thread post that even though Michael Pineda has been good in June, I'm not exactly ready to buy his performance just yet. Well, he went a long way to proving that he can pitch with authority, as he tossed a stellar six-inning, twelve strikeout performance against the Texas Rangers. The offense may have made A.J. Griffin look like his old self, but a key mistake in the ninth gave the Yankees a walk-off win and a series tie as they head to the west coast.
