Filed under: Rangers, Rays, MLB Playoffs, American League Division SeriesST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- As Cliff Lee was carving up the Rays on Wednesday, the man most upset about it works a few miles up the road in Tampa.
Lee's pitching performance caused Hal Steinbrenner to have to check under the Yankees sofa cushions for a few more millions.
"He made himself more money today," Rangers teammate Jeff Francoeur said.
As the Yankees deal with the uncertainty of their playoff rotation beyond CC Sabathia, Lee -- an impending free agent -- further cements his postseason reputation.
In seven innings, he struck out 10, did not issue a walk and allowed one run.
Add that to his Phillies experience last year, and Lee's postseason resume reads: 5-0, 1.52 ERA, with his team 6-0 in his starts. In 47 1/3 innings -- at least seven in every start -- he has allowed 32 hits, one home run and six walks while striking out 43.
In three Game 1s, Lee is 3-0 with a 0.72 ERA.
