Top 2: Miguel Olivo struck out swinging against C.C. Sabathia

Top 5: Olivo struck out swinging against Sabathia

Top 7: Olivo struck out swinging against Sabathia

Top 9: Olivo struck out swinging against Mariano Rivera

Final Line: 0-for-4, 4 K

Notes: Olivo notched his second sombrero out of the cleanup spot on Tuesday night. Unfortunately, he and the rest of the Mariners were the victims of Sabathia’s best start of the season. How good was it? The big man was perfect through 6 1/3 innings and at one point struck out seven consecutive hitters – he had 14 over seven innings.  The Yankees’ staff went on to fan 18 Mariners.

Top 3: Alvarez grounded out against Hanson

Top 5: Alvarez struck out swinging against Hanson

Top 8: Alvarez struck out swinging against Jonny Venters

Top 10: Alvarez called out on strikes against George Sherill

Top 17: Alvarez flew out to center against Scott Proctor

Final Line: 1-for-7, RBI, 4 K, 7 LOB

Notes: First off, I can’t believe there was only one sombrero is a 19-inning game.  I’d still take a 1-for-7 golden sombrero performance over Martin Prado’s 0-for-9 night.

Bottom 2: Jay Bruce struck out swinging against Jon Niese

Bottom 4: Bruce struck out swinging against Niese

Bottom 5: Bruce grounded out to first against Niese

Bottom 7: Bruce struck out swinging against Ryota Igarashi

Bottom 9: Bruce struck out swinging against Tim Byrdak

Final Line: 0-for-5, 4 K

Notes: Bruce’s golden sombrero against the Mets on Tuesday night was his second of the season.  On a night where the Reds pounded out 12 hits and six runs, Bruce was one of two starters not to record a hit.  After Bruce hit a walk-off home run off Byrdak to clinch the N.L. Central last season, the left-handed reliever definitely got his revenge, as he fanned Bruce to end the game.
