Final
Yankees send Rasner to the mound vs. Mariners
May 6, 2007 - 2:24 PM Seattle (13-12) at NY Yankees (13-15) 1:05 pm EDTBRONX, New York (Ticker) -- The New York Yankees are slowly closing in on the .500 mark.
The Yankees look for their fifth win in six games when they face the Seattle Mariners in the third game of a four-game series on Sunday.
After struggling for most of the season with a lack of solid starting pitching, New York on Saturday watched Chien-Ming Wang carry a bid for a perfect game into the eighth inning before allowing a home run with one out to Ben Broussard.
Derek Jeter had three hits, including a two-run double in a five-run sixth, en route to an 8-1 victory a day after the Yankees were knocked around in an 15-11 loss on Friday.
New York now turns to Darrell Rasner (0-1, 3.86 ERA), who will make his fourth start of the season, but first since April 19 after a stint with Class AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
The righthander allowed a run and four hits in 4 1/3 innings of an 8-6 victory over the Cleveland Indians. He did not factor in that decision and has surrendered nine runs - six earned - in 14 innings before being sent to the minors.
Seattle (13-12), which lost for just its third time in 11 games, sends Jarrod Washburn (2-2, 2.88) to the rubber.
Washburn is looking to win three straight starts for the first time in nearly three years. The lefthander reeled off six consecutive wins from April 17-May 15, 2004.
Washburn has pitched very well against the Yankees lately, yielding two earned runs or fewer in five of his last six starts. He is 3-2 in those games.
