Red-hot Yankees to take on Garland, White Sox
Aug 2, 2007 - 1:10 PM Chi White Sox (48-59) at NY Yankees (58-49) 1:05 pm EDTBRONX, New York (Ticker) - The New York Yankees have put on a home run show the past two nights. Amazingly, the major league's home run leader has not participated.
Alex Rodriguez will take yet another crack at hitting his 500th career homer on Thursday when the Yankees look to complete a three-game sweep of the Chicago White Sox.
New York has clubbed 13 homers - including tying a 68-year-old club record with eight on Tuesday - while outscoring the White Sox 24-4 over the first two games of the series. Rodriguez, who leads the majors with 35 homers, is hitless in his last 21 at-bats.
The power outburst has helped the team in the standings as well, as the Yankees moved within two games of the Cleveland Indians (60-47) in the American League wild card race.
Jon Garland (8-7, 4.12 ERA) will be trying to quiet New York's bats on Thursday. The 27-year-old righthander has beaten the Yankees twice already this season, allowing three runs - two earned - in 15 1/3 innings.
The Yankees will counter with Roger Clemens (3-5, 3.92). The "Rocket" got knocked around by Baltimore last Saturday, allowing four runs and eight hits in 6 1/3 innings to absorb the loss.
