Rangers Vs. Yankees, ALCS Game 1: CC Sabathia Settles Down In Second

All right, so the Rangers' three-run first inning wasn't exactly what the Yankees had in mind. But if that's what it took for CC Sabathia to find his groove, then it could've been worse.

First things first: C.J. Wilson worked another effective frame in the top of the second, setting the Yankees down in order. He's only thrown 23 pitches through two innings, and has yet to pitch from the stretch.

CC Sabathia then came back out after his nightmare first and looked a great deal better. He fell behind both Jorge Cantu and Elvis Andrus 2-0, which is a bad sign, but he buckled down and came back with good pitches, and ended the inning with a three-pitch strikeout of Michael Young.
