<font size=+1> Yankees 5, Rays 0 </font><br>
July 8, 2008<br>
<br>
<b>Summary: </b>Andy Pettitte stole the spotlight from Scott Kazmir, who looked unhittable early on. But Pettitte persevered through eight innings of shutout ball to best Kazmir, who exited after five innings down 2-0 despite notching nine strikeous. Derek Jeter (2-for-4, 2 RBIs) made an acrobatic play to get a force out to end the seventh inning to preserve the lead, which the Yanks added to in the eighth inning courtesy of a Melky Cabrera homer, a Bobby Abreu double and a Robbie Cano single.<br>
<br>
<b>Key stat: </b>Pettitte: 8 IP, 4 hits, 0 ER, 0 BB, 5 Ks<br>
<br>
<b> Yankees' record:</b> 48-42
