Andy Pettitte ended his tremendous Major League career in style on Saturday, allowing just one run on five hits in a complete game victory over the Astros. |
Pettitte walked a pair and punched out five on the evening. The only blemish on his evening was an RBI groundout by Chris Carter in the fourth inning. The 41-year-old southpaw finishes his 18th and final MLB season with an 11-11 record, 3.74 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 128/48 K/BB ratio over 185 1/3 innings. For his illustrious career, that could end in the Hall of Fame, Pettitte sports a 256-153 career mark with 3.85 ERA. His 19 career postseason victories rank first in MLB history. One of the finest hurlers of the last two decades, Pettitte will be sorely missed by the Yankees and baseball fans everywhere next season. |

Andy Pettitte will move up in the rotation to start Sunday against the Orioles. |

Andy Pettitte struggled against the White Sox on Monday, giving up seven runs and 11 hits in 2 2/3 innings. |
Many of this hits were pretty soft, but they were getting harder as the game went along and the Yankees had little choice but to pull him in the third. It was Pettitte's shortest start since July 18, 2010 against the Rays (3 ER in 2 1/3 IP) and the first in which he allowed seven runs and pitched fewer than four innings since July 1, 2007 against the A's (8 R, 7 ER in 1 2/3 IP). Pettitte isn't much of an option as a mixed-league starter right now. |
