Phelps takes the mound in the series finale.

Vintage Andy Pettitte was on display yesterday in Seattle as the 40-year old lefty tossed 7 1/3 innings of one run ball, all while only surrendering three singles to the Mariners. Today, David Phelps will take the mound for the Yankees as New York looks to win the series today in the rainy city.

This afternoon's lineup:

Gardner 8
Cano 4
Teixeira 3
Hafner DH
Wells 7
Suzuki 9
Nix 5
Brignac 6
Stewart 2
Phelps 1

Phelps (4-3, 4.15 ERA) is coming off his last a start against the Indians on Tuesday in which he pitched great, shutting out Cleveland over six inning,while permitting only one hit. After recording only one out against the Mets in his previous star, it was a big bounce back win for Phelps.

"I kind of chuckled to myself after getting the second out and said, 'All right, you're already doing better than last outing,'" Phelps said after the win over the Indians. "The whole season is going to have ups and downs, and you got to roll with them as much as you can."

Sunday will be the first start of his career against the Mariners for Phelps. He has faced Seattle before, picking up the win in 1 1/3 in relief once at Safeco Field.

Taking the mound from the other dugout will be the Mariners' ace, King Felix Hernandez (7-4, 2.58 ERA). Hernandez has already faced the Yankees this season, back in mid-May at Yankee Stadium. He had been cruising though his start before back problems forced him out of the game.

King Felix has won his last two starts and is coming off an outing in which he gave up four runs on six over 7 1/3 innings in a win against the White Sox during the past week.

"I thought he had to grind it out a bit," said manager Eric Wedge of his last outing. "He made it difficult on himself working behind sometimes, let a few pitches out of order early on. He did a nice job of reeling it back in though. I thought he did a real nice job of gathering himself and did a better job executing pitches."

Pineda makes his 1st rehab outing:

Michael Pineda made his first official rehab outing for the Single-A Tampa Yankees on Sunday. Pineda pitched well throughout the afternoon and recorded several 1-2-3 innings.

He exited the game in the 5th inning with one-out and a runner on. His final line finished as: 4.1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 4 K. I'll have more as the day progresses.

Nunez making progress:

It's been over a month since we've last seen Eduardo Nunez in game action and after another setback a few days ago, it looks like Nunez is heading in the right direction.

Dealing with an oblique injury, Nunez has now resumed rotational activity in his rehab, meaning that he'll be able to do things like being able to twist and swing bat. Again, more info on this as the day progresses.
