Yankees 7, Palms 2

The Yankees fell behind early in this one, thanks to some excellent early 2 out hitting, including a two run single from Jorge Posada in the first. He would end up with four runs batted in. Eddie Black managed to hit two home runs, giving him three in the past two days, getting the only runs for the team in this rout. Both Ryan Henning and Jaspero Gonzalez are contending with minor injuries, Henning in his ankle and Gonzalez in his thigh, which has led to some interesting lineup combinations for the team tonight and tomorrow. Henning tried to go today, shifting middle infield positions to take pressure off his bad ankle, but will be out tomorrow.
