The Yankees rebounded after two ugly losses to the O's with a 13-3 blowout today at The Stadium. Joba Chamberlain started for the Yankees and was once again very good. In six innings he allowed two runs (one earned) on five hits, he didn't walk a batter and struck out six. Joba is now 4-3 with a 2.24 ERA on the season.

Edwar Ramirez threw once pitch on the day, a fastball over the head of Kevin Millar. He was then ejected from the game by home plate ump Mark Wegner. Here's a tip Edwar, if you want to throw at somebody, do it with two outs.

David Robertson pitched two innings today, he pitched well, although he did make one mistake, a solo homer off the bat of Juan Castro.

And Dan Giese pitched a scoreless 9th to finish off the game.
