Boy did the Yanks need that win after this weekend. I don't care if we couldn't scratch a run across against Scott Feldman, tonight was all about Nate. The guy has literally gotten better each and every start. Pumping 100 in the 8th inning. Throwing up 0 after 0 trying to give the Yanks a chance to win the game. A guy who's gotten all kinds of run support this year, tonight he was afforded no room for error and he delivered in a big way. He's so far passed the point of being worried about him when he takes the mound it's not even funny. I'd even go as far as to say he's done more to earn a playoff rotation spot than anyone else on the Yankees. He's been that good.
Tonight wasn't the most encouraging win for the Yanks going forward. The offense still struggled against a really hittable pitcher but I don't think I'm going to really dwell on that. They needed a win and they got it. They're now in a deadlock tie with the Blue Jays with less than 40 games to play. The offense isn't going to get any better until A-Rod starts hitting again/Tex comes back and resumes playing like an MVP candidate. With those two things missing from the middle of the order I'm not expecting too much more than what we saw tonight going forward.
