 Yankees hit a new high watermark 35 games over 500 it is not even July a 2-1 win against the A's of the stadium tonight a jack a win in which the Yankees were led by another impressive arm albeit one that is not normally a part of the rotation JP Sears. Ryan I mentioned on the pregame that the Yankees were a juggernaut they were a train that's going 100 miles an hour and Sears had a jump on board he didn't just jump on board he turned into the conductor he said follow me guys I'll hand all this pitch scoreless baseball into the sixth inning looked unflappable had a great combination of pitches he was able to get nine outs on the ground handed the game over to the bullpen it got a little suspenseful in the end clay Holmes who normally does not have a flaw at all ended up giving up a run after a catcher's interference call but Trevino had an early RBI Marvin Gonzalez continues to lobby for more playing time he had a home run and the Yankees did what they have to do they're the best team in baseball the A's are the worst team in baseball however you have to get there you have to win these games and the Yankees did it chiefly on the arm of Sears
