Wang looks for strong showing
New York (25-31) at Chicago (26-28), 8:11 p.m. ET
By Jon Greenberg / Special to MLB.com

Chien-Ming Wang's last start was his shortest of the season. But he still
won. Wang gave up three runs on 10 hits in 5 2/3 innings in the Yankees'
9-5 victory over Boston on June 1, the first time he was unable to go six
innings this season. Wang has recorded a decision in all eight of his
starts, including a seven-inning gem against the White Sox on May 16 in
the second game of a doubleheader.

Wang gave up one run, six hits and a walk in the 8-1 victory. The
Yankees need him to duplicate that workload just as much as the final
result. And they could use a winning streak. The Yankees haven't won two
in a row since May 20-21, against the Mets.

The White Sox have split against a pair of rookie starters so far,
beating Matt DeSalvo, who is already back in Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre,
and falling to Tyler Clippard on Tuesday. Wang is decidedly more experienced.

"The pitcher has to set the pace and tone for our being consistent," Torre
said. "We came into the first two games here with two kids, and we got
a win in the second game. Now we have more experience going."

The Yankees also get to face another right-handed starter in Javier
Vazquez, and they've hit righties pretty well this season. Eighteen
of Alex Rodriguez's 21 homers have come against right-handers and
White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen knows A-Rod will be swinging for the
fences against the former Yankees hurler.

"He has [21] home runs, and we are still in June. I have 22 home runs
in 25 years of playing the game," White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen cracked.
 "He's a good player, and that's what happens. When you are good, that's
the hit you are going to take."

Pitching matchup
NYY: RHP Chien-Ming Wang (4-4, 4.19 ERA)
Wang has won three of four, with two wins against the Red Sox and one against
the White Sox. He hasn't given up a home run in his last five starts, a span
of 34 innings.

CWS: RHP Javier Vazquez (3-3, 3.95 ERA)
The former Yankees right-hander gets another crack at his old team.
Vazquez is 1-2 with a 5.00 ERA, with 18 strikeouts in 18 innings against
the Bombers. He hasn't pitched against the Yankees this year and is
coming off an eight-inning scoreless outing on June 1 at Toronto. He is
1-2 with a 4.26 ERA at home.

Player to watch
Johnny Damon needs a repeat performance of his three-hit game on Tuesday
to keep sparking this Yankees offense. Damon's double led off the four-run
sixth that broke the game open.
