Cabrera shines in Yanks loss

Melky Cabrera, who has dramatically improved his game since he was called up to the Yankees last season, was about the only bright spot in an otherwise anemic lineup as the Yankees lost the middle game of a three game set against the Braves 5-2. Cabrera was 3-for-4 and was responsible for both Yankees runs. His RBI infield single was the only run that the Yanks could score against Atlanta starter Horacio Ramirez. Cabrera also kept New York's slim hopes alive when he golfed a solo shot to right field in the bottom of the ninth, making it a 5-2 game, but that was all that the Yankees could do in the final inning. Cabrera is now hitting nearly .270, and his defense is greatly improved, as he's made some stellar catches while being converted from a center fielder to a left fielder.
