Yankee Pitching Struggles, Lose to Bosox 7-2

The game looked to be competitive when it was 1-1 through 5 innings, but starter Chris Capuano walked 3 and gave up a hit and 1 run before recording an out in the 6th when the bullpen was called.
They didn't fare much better.

While Jared Burton did an admirable job allowing only 1 run to score in a bases loaded no out jam in the 6th, he surrendered 2 singles to start the 7th and gave way to Jim Miller who allowed 3 hits, a walk and 3 runs (2 inherited) to score, before he was relieved by Adam Warren.

Warren gave up a RBI single to Shane Victorino to close out the scoring, but the damage had been done.

With the loss the Yankees drop to 2-2, 1 game behind the division leading Red Sox and Orioles. Nathan Eovaldi is expected to start against Joe Kelly tomorrow.

The Yankees are considering moving a starting pitcher up from AAA if Masahiro Tanaka is unable to make his scheduled start on Sunday. They may run into some trouble however as the top 3 starters for the Railriders will be unavailable to pitch. The likely candidate should this situation arise appears to be to call up Chase Whitley for the spot start and send down struggling reliever, Jim Miller who won the job in spring training but in his 2 appearances, giving up 5 hits, 2 walks and 3 earned runs in his 1 inning of work. He has only retired 3 of the 10 batters he's faced so far this season.
