Pettitte makes season debut on Thursday
Apr 5, 2007 - 2:26 PM Tampa Bay (0-1) at NY Yankees (1-0) 7:05 pm EDTBRONX, New York (Ticker) -- Andy Pettitte's return to the New York Yankees takes place Thursday night after a rainout shortened a season-opening series against the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.
A member of four championship teams with the Yankees from 1996-2000, Pettitte spent the last three years with the Houston Astros before signing with the Yankees in the offseason. He will make $16 million in 2007.
The lefthander was supposed to start on Wednesday, but that game was rained out.
A fan favorite, Pettitte owns a career mark of 149-78 with a 3.94 ERA as a Yankee. He also is 13-8 for the club in the postseason.
Pettitte is 11-1 in 16 career starts against the Devil Rays.
Jae Seo gets the start for Tampa Bay. The Korean righthander struggled last season, compiling a 3-12 record with a 5.33 ERA in 26 appearances for the Los Angeles Dodgers and Tampa Bay.
In five career starts against the Yankees, Seo is 1-3 with a 7.82 ERA.
New York won the series opener, 9-5, on Monday. Alex Rodriguez belted his 465th career homer and Jason Giambi drove in three runs.
Highly touted prospect Elijah Dukes belted a home run and B.J. Upton had two hits for Tampa Bay.
