Andy Pettitte didn’t have his best stuff last night, but he still managed to pitch seven innings while giving up only two earned runs. It seems like he does that every night out these days.

The Yankees still lost though, thanks to Kyle Kendrick who allowed just one run over seven innings, and Joba Chamberlain, who fell apart in the ninth when he was charged with three earned runs. The final score was 7-1.

Here are some notes:

A Phillies fan leafing through his Philadelphia Inquirer on May 23 would have seen his team sitting atop the NL East with a 26-16 record—the best in the NL. The Phillies had a fairly comfortable 3.5-game lead on the second-place Atlanta Braves, and that was only after the Tomahawks had amassed a five-game winning streak.

The Phillies were the all-but unanimous favorites to win the division, if not the pennant, for the third year in a row. Nothing had happened in the team's first 42 games to change that.

According to the Scranton/Wilkes Barre Yankees , the Yankees have signed infielder Eric Bruntlett to a minor league deal, and he is expected to play in Triple-A Scranton tonight.
