Game 36 - Tanaka Dominates

Masahiro Tanaka struck out 11 in 6 innings, as the Yankees improved their record to 27-9.

Jose Pirela, who was called up several weeks ago when Brett Gardner was placed on the DL, is making it difficult for the Yankees to send him down. His double, triple, with an RBI and a run scored, has improved his hashline to (.308/.341/.538) in 41 plate appearances. If the Yankees decide to keep him in the majors, the odd man out may be Brendan Ryan (.214/.258/.345). The Yankees may look to trade him for prospects in this case, but it will be a difficult decision.
