Wang, Yankees look to bounce back vs. Devil Rays

Jul 14, 2007 - 2:17 PM NY Yankees (44-44) at Tampa Bay (35-54) 7:10 pm EDT

ST. PETERSBURG, Florida (Ticker) - Chien-Ming Wang will take the mound for the New York Yankees when they aim to get back on track in the third contest of a four-game series against the Tampa Bay Devil Rays on Saturday night.

After starting the season's second half with a win on Thursday, the Yankees suffered a disappointing defeat on Friday night.

Scott Kazmir tossed six solid innings and Dioner Navarro and Josh Wilson each knocked in two runs as the Devil Rays posted a 6-4 victory over the Yankees in that contest.

New York aims to bounce back behind Wang (9-4, 3.36), who tossed 6 1/3 scoreless innings his last time out, yielding just five hits - while striking out three and walking two - in a 12-0 victory over the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim last Sunday.

Wang has not lost since May 26 against the Angels, but the righthander lost to Tampa Bay - allowing four runs and nine hits in 6 1/3 frames - on April 24. He had previously been 4-0 with a 2.15 ERA against the Devil Rays.

He will be opposed by rookie Andy Sonnanstine (1-3, 5.36), who yielded four runs - three earned - and six hits, while striking out five and walking one, in seven innings in an 8-7 loss at Kansas City last Saturday.

He is 0-3 with a 5.46 ERA in his five starts since notching his first career victory against Florida on June 10.
