Pettitte Steps Up

Andy Pettitte stepped into the ace role nicely tonight, shutting out the Padres for seven innings. The Yankees lefty dominated the Padres hitters, walking one and striking out nine. The bullpen continues to pitch well without Joba, striking out five more with no walks as the Yankees win the game 8-0. Chase Headley justified his call up with two hits, the only offensive bright spot for San Diego.

Pettitte has now allowed one run in his last fifteen innings while striking out 15 and walking just two. The Yankees will need more of that over the next ten weeks.
