Final
Yankees look to complete sweep of Indians
Apr 19, 2007 - 2:01 PM Cleveland (6-5) at NY Yankees (7-6) 1:05 pm EDTBRONX, New York (Ticker) -- Darrell Rasner hopes to emulate the success of rookies Chase Wright and Kei Igawa on Wednesday, when the New York Yankees look to complete a three-game sweep of the Cleveland Indians.
New York's rotation has been ravaged by injuries. Chien-Ming Wang (right hamstring), Mike Mussina (left hamstring) and Carl Pavano (right forearm) are all on the disabled list.
In the first two games vs. the Indians, the Yankees were forced to start lefthanders Wright and Kei Igawa, who each picked up their first major league win. The duo combined to allow five runs in 11 innings.
Rasner (0-1, 4.66 ERA) will make his first start of the season for New York, which has outscored the Indians, 19-5, in the first two games of the series.
On Wednesday, Igawa pitched six innings and Alex Rodriguez blasted his ninth homer of the season in a 9-2 rout.
Rodriguez now has hit safely in all 13 games and 18 straight overall, dating to the 2006 season. The third baseman has driven in 23 runs to go along with his nine homers - both tops in the majors.
New York roughed up Indians lefthander Jeremy Sowers, knocking him out of the game with a five-run third inning, on Tuesday.
Righthander Fausto Carmona (0-1, 12.46) hopes to fare better on Thursday. He allowed six runs, seven hits and two homers in 4 1/3 innings in his lone start this season - a 6-4 loss to the Chicago White Sox.
