Yankees cool off Baker Tuesday: CC Sabathia allowed one run on three hits in seven innings and the New York Yankees roughed up Minnesota starter Scott Baker in a 10-2 victory over the Twins on Tuesday night. Baker (6-7), who was 2-0 with a 1.50 ERA in his two previous starts against the Yankees, gave up five runs on nine hits with two walks and four strikeouts in three innings, his shortest outing of the season. The surging Yankees didn't hit Baker particularly hard, but they did hit him often enough to drive his pitch count through the Metrodome's roof early. Mark Teixeira had two broken-bat bloopers in the first two innings, the second scoring Brett Gardner to give New York a 3-0 lead. That score held through three innings, but Baker's pitch count already was at 75 when he took the mound to start the fourth inning. He never recorded an out in the frame. Reliever Brian Duensing didn't fare any better, and the Yankees broke the game open with a five-run sixth.

Fantasy Analysis

Baker had an outstanding June with a 4-0 record and 3.20 ERA in six starts. He has improved dramatically since opening the season with a 0-3 record and 9.82 ERA in April. Tuesday just could be a bad start for Baker, so don't give up on him after one outing. He still has the stuff to be a reliable Fantasy SP. His next scheduled start is for Sunday against the White Sox. Baker is 0-1 with a 7.20 ERA in one start against Chicago this season.
