Slowey looks to remain undefeated against Yankees

Jul 5, 2007 - 2:19 PM Minnesota (43-40) at NY Yankees (39-42) 1:05 pm EDT

BRONX, New York (Ticker) -- Rookie Kevin Slowey has not been perfect but he is yet to record a loss.

Slowey takes the mound looking to continue his undefeated start when the Minnesota Twins face the New York Yankees in the finale of a four-game series on Thursday.

Slowey (3-0, 5.13 ERA) yielded four runs and nine hits over six innings in an 8-5 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Saturday.

Reigning American League Cy Young Award winner Johan Santana pitched seven solid innings and Jason Kubel and Luis Rodriguez each blasted a two-run homer as the Twins snapped a three-game losing streak with a 6-2 triumph in Wednesday's contest against the Yankees.

New York will turn to Kei Igawa (2-2, 6.91) as it hopes to rebound.

Igawa has not recorded a major league win since April 28. The 27-year-old native of Japan posted an 0-1 record with an 8.40 ERA over three big league starts in that span.

The lefthander pitched 6 1/3 innings, surrendering four runs and five hits with three walks in a 7-0 loss to the Oakland Athletics on Saturday.

The Yankees have lost seven of their last 10 contests.
