Yankees send another rookie to the mound against the Mets

May 20, 2007 - 1:46 PM NY Yankees (18-23) at NY Mets (28-14) 8:05 pm EDT

FLUSHING, New York (Ticker) -- The New York Yankees' pitching woes have been well chronicled this season. On Sunday, the Yankees will start their 11th different pitcher of the season when they face the New York Mets.

Tyler Clippard (NR) will make his major league debut for the Yankees. The 22-year-old righthander went 3-2 with a 2.72 ERA in eight starts this season at Class AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre of the International League.

Saturday's starter Darrell Rasner, left the game after the second batter in the first inning chopped a grounder back to the mound, breaking the rookie's finger. Rookie starter Jeff Karstens suffered the same sort of injury when Boston's leadoff man Julio Lugo lined a ball back to the mound, breaking his leg.

The Mets will go for the sweep behind John Maine (5-1, 2.15 ERA). The 26-year-old righthander has yet to yield more than three earned runs in a start this season.

Maine suffered his first loss of the season last Tuesday against the Chicago Cubs.

With a win, the Mets would complete their first sweep of the Yankees since July 2004. The Yankees have lost five of their last six.
