Phil Hughes, who was expected to be a solid No. 3 starter for the Yankees this season, notched yet another poor start on Thursday night. Hughes has allowed five runs and lasted fewer than five innings in each of his three starts in 2011. He's only the third pitcher to do so in the live ball era. The others are Chien-Ming Wang in 2009 and Brian Boehringer in 1995. The right-hander reached 92 mph twice in the first inning but was throwing consistently in the 88-89 mph range after the second. New York manager Joe Girardi said location was more important than speed. Despite falling in an early hole, the Yankees won 6-5 in the 10th inning thanks to their bullpen. "I don't have the magic potion or the answers. Hopefully it will work itself out," Hughes said. "I'm really proud of the guys, battling back after really digging us a hole there."
