The Yankees took care of the Red Sox in both games of their doubleheader and the wins extended their winning streak to four games.  It was Ian Kennedy who got it done in the first game and he threw six shutout innings to pick up his first Triple A win of the season.  He gave up five hits and a walk and he struck out nine in the 4-0 win.  Alberto Gonzalez went two for three with a triple with three RBIs and a run.

The second game was more tight but it was a win none the less.  The game winner came in the seventh inning when Chris Basak doubled home Kevin Reese and Bronson Sardinha to win it.  T.J. Beam picked up the win with two shutout innings to close out the game.

Like Joba Chamberlain, Ian Kennedy transitioned nicely and threw six shutout innings in his debut for SWB.  He gave up two hits and two walks with six strikeouts.   It wasn’t good enough though because the pen gave up three runs and the hitters were shutout in a 3-0 loss.

Bronson Sardinha went one for four with a homerun and four RBIs.  Kevin Reese went two for two with a homerun, two RBIs and two runs.

SWB put five runs on the board in the final two frames but it wasn’t enough to come back and beat the Knights.  Chase Wright had a rough start and the defense didn’t help things much.  He gave up five runs (just one earned) on eight hits and a walk with two strikeouts in only three innings.
