CC Sabathia (seen here in Spring Training 2011) did what's expected of an ace -- helping his team win a crucial game. Not at the top of his form -- giving up 10 hits in 6 innings is far from his best --the big lefthander kept pitching out of trouble and maintained the Yankees' lead. Turning it over to the bullpen after six, they wrapped up New York's 5 - 2 win at Fenway. But Mariano Rivera and company wouldn't have been there without CC's gutty effort.
