And now we start counting down. It was twelve outs. Then it was nine outs. Now it's six outs. The Rangers are only six outs away from advancing to the World Series.
Yankees Vs. Rangers, ALCS Game 6: Colby Lewis Puts Up A Zero In Seventh
Returning to the mound for the top of the seventh, Colby Lewis got ahead of Robinson Cano and struck him out swinging at a low curveball for the first out of the frame. Alex Rodriguez then lifted a lazy fly ball into left for the second.
Lance Berkman stepped in and tried to get something going by lacing a ball to the gap in left-center field. The ball went all the way to the fence, and when Josh Hamilton tripped over his own ankle, Berkman was able to make it into third with a two-out triple.
But Nick Swisher killed any dreams of a big inning when he swung first pitch and sent an outside fastball into left, where David Murphy was able to make an easy catch. The Yankees went down without a run, and now they're really up against it as we head to the stretch.
