Joba Chamberlain Injury Update: Chamberlain Begins Rehab Assignment, Reaches 97 MPH

New York Yankees pitcher Joba Chamberlain made his first appearance in 13 months for the team's rookie-level Gulf Coast League affiliate on Tuesday.

The 26-year old threw 23 pitches to complete one inning while allowing no hits, no earned runs and no walks. Returning after 2011 Tommy John surgery and a fluke dislocated right ankle this summer, Chamberlain reached 97 MPH on the radar gun and struck out two batters. He did allow an unearned run.

"Just to feel comfortable and just to be in a game, I mean, really was the biggest thing," the 26-year-old told Newsday after his appearance. "So I was very pleased."

The Yankees, seven games ahead of the Baltimore Orioles in the American League East standings, return to the field after the All-Star break on Friday against the Los Angeles Angels.

Yankees Vs. Red Sox Final Score: New York Loses Game 2 Of Doubleheader, 9-5

The New York Yankees were defeated by the Boston Red Sox on Saturday night, losing by a final score of 9-5.

It was the second game of a doubleheader for the Yankees, who beat Boston earlier in the day 6-1.

New York jumped out to an early lead, scoring three runs in the top of the first inning thanks to a homer by DH Mark Teixeira (his 15th of the season) that scored shortstop Derek Jeter and center fielder Curtis Granderson.

Boston responded in the bottom of the third, when third baseman Mauro Gomez scored despite the Yankees turning a double play off left fielder Daniel Nava. The Red Sox added another run in the fifth inning on a sacrifice fly by second baseman Nick Punto that brought in Pedro Ciriaco, but didn't take the lead until an inning later, when Ciriaco hit an RBI double that scored three. The offensive onslaught continued in the seventh, when the Red Sox tacked on four more runs.

The Yankees hit two more homers as the game progressed, and both were solo shots. The first came courtesy of outfielder Andruw Jones, who belted his tenth of the season in the seventh inning. In the ninth inning, Eric Chavez made the score 9-5 with a home run of his own.

Yankees starting pitcher Phil Hughes was given the loss after allowing ten hits and five runs (three earned) over 5.1 innings of work. Reliever Boone Logan allowed a run, and Cory Wade allowed three more (one earned).

The loss drops the Yankees to 51-33 (26-17 away), while the Red Sox improve to 43-42 on the season. The fourth and final game of the series will take place on Sunday at 8:05 p.m. ET.
