As Hughes troubles continue, The Yankees reach first place

On a third consecutive start Phil Hughes struggles continue lacking velocity and being ineffective on the mount to be able to have any resemblance to what it was a great season for him last year. Nonetheless the Yankees offence was able to bail him out of another bad outing and have the team come on top by obtaining their first walk off win of the season over the Baltimore Orioles. Which now that puts the Yankees on first place of the AL East division after loosing their first series to their rivals Red Sox over the weekend. With a record of 7-4 now they have a one game lead over the second place Orioles and a five games lead over the last place Boston Red Sox. Now it will be up to Ivan Nova to keep the ball rolling and continue to another win. CC has not got a win yet even though he has pitched well enough to have at least two wins so far, but that's the game of baseball. Despite the struggles that Hughes is going through and Sebathia not being able to record his first win yet, the team has reach first place on the division. Let see how they take it to the next level once they start going full force.
