What a job by Small. This guy is unbelievable. A career journeyman turns into an all-star. When will Joe stop messing around and leave him in the rotation? Get Leiter out of there and pitch this guy. Small pitched a complete game shut out, both firsts in the major leagues for him and it couldn't have happened at a better time. What's so impressive is his poise. He looks like a guy who has been pitching in the league for years. Nothing seems to faze him and for any pitcher in New York that says a lot.
A-Rod comes through with the game breaking two run single and Giambi iced it with a three run blast.
