CLEVELAND - For Chien-Ming Wang, the last four days have been his longest
of the season.
Wang pitched the worst game of his career against Toronto on Wednesday,
allowing eight runs on nine hits before being taken out of the game in the
third inning. He has been stewing about it since.
"There's nothing you can do," he said. "Only wait."
Wang will get back on the mound tonight when the Yankees open a seven-game
homestand against the Baltimore Orioles. He'll oppose Jeremy Guthrie.
Wang (13-6) is 3-1 against the Orioles in his career. He beat them on July 29
in Baltimore, allowing three runs in six innings. The right-hander believes
he will pitch well tonight.
"I watched the tape, and my arm (angle) was too low," he said. "Every pitch
was up."
Wang had a long session in the bullpen with pitching coach Ron Guidry on
Thursday working to correct the mistake.
"I'm not concerned," manager Joe Torre said. "It looked like a mechanical
thing. His ball was flat, and he just wasn't getting that downward movement.
As long as there's nothing physically wrong, I'm not really concerned about
it. You hope that's an isolated case."
