Phil Hughes rebounds in no-decision

CBSSports.com Fantasy — Yankees starter Phil Hughes was much better Tuesday in Baltimore than he was his last time out when he lasted just 2/3 of an inning against Seattle.

His ERA is 5.51.  The 26-year-old entered Tuesday having allowed 13 earned runs over his previous 6 1/3 innings, and has now allowed five homers in his last three starts. Still, he's 2-3 and h...

Nuno 'can't be perfect' in 10th

Yankees Blog | ESPN New York — Vidal Nuno represents what Phil Hughes once did. The thing about a rookie is that the slate is completely clean and fans can let their imaginations loose to dream. Hughes was supposed to be a No. 1 and is now more a No. 4 or 5. Nuno is an out-of-nowhere story, the first Vidal to make the majors, and he had not given up a run in his initial eight big league innings. On Tuesday night, the Yankees lost 3-2 in 10 innings against the Orioles. It happens.

THAT WAS BETTER: After going just two-thirds of an inning his last time out, Hughes went six innings, allowing two runs on five hits, including two solo homers. He struck out five and walked two.

Phil Hughes blames struggles on fastball

CBSSports.com Fantasy — Yankees pitcher Phil Hughes said his fastball is to blame for his struggles this season, according to the Journal News.  "It’s all fastball command, really.

The A's made short work of the Fake Yankees yesterday (c'mon, that's not a real New York Yankees lineup), as A.J. Griffin shut down a group of hitters who would have been fairly intimidating in 2005. With C.C. Sabathia out of the way, Oakland faces Phil Hughes, who is off to a pretty good start this year (8.3 K/9, 5.00 K:BB) if you don't count home runs (5 in 27 innings). Hughes just shut down the Rays and Jays in his last two starts, but it turns out that neither of...
