Andy Pettitte wanted to pitch really bad for the Yankees this year by excepting a bonus filled 5.5 million contact after initially balking at the Yankees first offer which was significantly higher.
Pettitte took the first step in proving last years poor finish was a fluke. Pettitte pitched 7 strong innings striking out 6, allowing 3 hits and 1 earned run. Brian Bruney and Mariano Rivera pitched the final 2 perfect innings. At the plate Posada had a 2 RBI single in the first and Nick Swisher had a RBI double in the fourth. The Yankees added another run in the fourth on Derek Jeter fielder choice . The Yankees are now 2-2 after starting the season 0-2. Joba Chamberlin will make his first start of the year on Saturday.
