Pettitte starts for Yankees in rubber game against Mariners

SEATTLE (Ticker) -- The New York Yankees send their $16 million lefthander to the mound on Sunday in the rubber game of their weekend series against the Seattle Mariners.

Andy Pettitte (2-1, 2.72 ERA) yielded just one run and seven hits in seven innings last Tuesday in a win over Texas.

Pettitte signed a one-year, $16 million deal with an option for a second year to anchor a staff that was in the process of infusing young arms with aging veterans. Pettitte has been doing just that, adding a solid presence to a rotation seemingly in constant flux due to injury.

Pettitte has been sharp on the road this season, surrendering just six runs - five earned - in 26 1/3 innings over five appearances - four starts.

The Mariners will counter with Horacio Ramirez (2-2, 7.62). The 27-year-old lefthander has had trouble adjusting to American League lineups, yielding 26 runs - 22 earned - in 26 1/3 innings over five starts.

Ramirez came over from the Atlanta Braves in the offseason in exchange for reliever Rafael Soriano. While Soriano has helped solidify the Braves bullpen with five saves and a 2.95 ERA, Ramirez is part of a staff that ranks 28th in the majors with a 4.97 ERA.

The Yankees can get back to .500 with a win.
