The Yankees finished off the previous homestand with a sweep of the Cleveland Indians on Wednesday, with a 6-4 win. CC Sabathia followed up with another fantastic start by striking out nine over the full nine innings. Now they'll hope to keep the winning trend in tact when facing an always challenging Mariners club.
Tonight's lineup:
Gardner CF
Cano 2B
Teixeira 1B
Hafner DH
Youkilis 3B
Wells LF
Ichiro RF
Nix SS
Romine C
Hughes P
Overbay will get the night off after starting the last three games in right field. Vernon Wells has really been struggling of late and hopes to pick up the pace in Seattle. The Yankees' hitters will be given the task of figuring out Mariners' righty, Aaron Harang (2-5, 5.82 ERA).
"You have to find a way to get back into the groove again," said Harang. "It definitely plays a big part in your confidence level and the feel you have out there on the mound. That can take a toll on you. Now we're back into a rhythm, and it seems like all the guys are going out there trying to feed off each other every night and one-up each other, and that's how you've got to play it. It's going to take you deep into games and give your bullpen a rest."
Joe Girardi will be calling on Phil Hughes (2-4, 5.37 ERA) tonight to help continue the Yankees' streak. Hughes will look to avenge a horrific start he had last time he faced Seattle, when he tagged for seven runs on six hits and two walks while recording just two outs in a May 15 start against the M's.
"Hopefully, this is a 1-in-100 type thing," Hughes said after last month's start against Seattle. "I remember I've had bad nights where I'd get 12 outs or something, but I don't think I can remember having an outing like this before. It's tough to swallow, but it happens to everybody. No one's going to feel sorry for you."
