Wang aces playoff test
New York Daily News
Not best, but earns a big 'W'
By SEAN BRENNAN
DAILY NEWS SPORTS WRITER
It wasn't his best outing of a season that would have had him in the Cy Young
hunt had it not been for a guy named Johan Santana.
He was not as crisp, not nearly as dominant and at times down right hittable.
But in the end, the Yankees will take what Chien-Ming Wang gave them last
night and be very happy to be one game up in the division series after last
night's 8-4 victory over the Tigers.
"I'm not saying he wasn't excited," Joe Torre said of his ace. "It was more,
I don't think you could characterize it as nervous as much as excited and
getting pumped up because I thought he was trying to overthrow some balls."
After cruising through a perfect first inning, Wang ran into some trouble in
the second when he allowed a leadoff double to Magglio Ordonez and a walk to
Carlos Guillen. But he escaped that jam when Ordonez inexplicably attempted
to steal third and was thrown out by Jorge Posada before Wang fanned Pudge
Rodriguez and got Craig Monroe to ground out to end the inning.
Wang got into another jam in the third when he put runners on first and third
and one out after allowing a double to Marcus Thames and a single by Curtis
Granderson. But Wang again escaped when he got Placido Polanco to ground into
an inning-ending double play started by Derek Jeter to keep it a scoreless
game.
After the Yankees staked Wang to a 5-0 lead in the third, the Tigers finally
took advantage of his inability to keep the ball down when Monroe tagged him
for a leadoff homer in the fifth. One out later, Brandon Inge singled before
back-to-back doubles by Polanco and Sean Casey trimmed the Yankees lead to
5-3.
"The Monroe ball got too much of the plate," Posada said. "But he settled
down after that. I just told him to get down in the zone."
Wang did settle down, tossing a 1-2-3 sixth before departing with two out in
the seventh and a 7-3 lead. On the night, Wang threw 6-2/3 innings, allowing
eight hits and three earned runs with four strikeouts and one walk. Not a
typical outing from the Yankees' 19-game winner, who recorded his first
postseason win while also becoming the first Taiwanese-born pitcher to win a
postseason game. But it was good enough to bring the Bombers within two
victories of a trip to the American League Championship Series.
"He's wise beyond his years," Alex Rodriguez said. "He pitches with poise."
