Yankees, Wang try to build on success
Yankees (19-19) at Seattle (15-22), 10:05 p.m. ET
By Doug Miller / MLB.com
If Chien-Ming Wang delivers a performance similar to his last start,
which happened to be against the Seattle Mariners -- the same opponent
he's facing Monday night -- the Yankees will be in position to build on
their already-impressive win streak tomorrow at Safeco Field.
The rookie right-hander handcuffed the Mariners in Yankee Stadium last week,
giving up three runs on four hits in 7 1/3 innings for his first Major League
victory.
Meanwhile, the Yankees offense will look to jump all over Aaron Sele the it
they did the last time it faced him. The Yankees pounded Sele last week,
scoring seven runs on eight hits in 2 2/3 innings.
