The New York (A) Yankees right fielder tore into Cleveland for 7 hits in 8 at-bats to pace Yankees to a 13-12 victory and wrote his name into the baseball record book.
The manager for the Indians bemoaned his pitching, saying, "We fell behind and weren't locating well. Once you get behind in the count, you have to make real good pitches, rather than good pitches, and we weren't able to do that today." He added, "Not to take anything away from Long, but bad location was the story of the ballgame. That's why we lost the game."
J. Long grounded out in the 1st, doubled in the 3rd, doubled in the 4th, doubled in the 6th, singled in the 8th, hit a two-run home run off F. Mather in the 9th, singled in the 11th and hit an RBI single in the 12th.
This year Long is batting .308 with 4 home runs. He has scored 47 runs and driven in 29. | | | Injuries | | Player | Injury | Out for... | Disabled List Status | | CF Joe Kiely | torn ankle ligaments | 4 weeks | On DL, eligible for return | | | Team Information | | Record overall | 40-44, .476 PCT | | Position in Division | 4th, 12.0 GB | | Record at home | 22-20, .524 PCT | | Record on the road | 18-24, .429 PCT | | Record in X-inning games | 2-5, .286 PCT | | Record in one-run games | 12-11, .522 PCT | | Record versus LHP | 8-15, .348 PCT | | Record versus RHP | 32-29, .525 PCT | | Record last 10 games | 6-4, .600 PCT | | Record in April | 17-9, .654 PCT | | Record in May | 12-16, .429 PCT | | Record in June | 10-18, .357 PCT | | Record in July | 1-1, .500 PCT |
