Abreu, Yankees go for sixth straight win

Aug 8, 2007 - 1:19 PM Ny Yankees (63-50) at Toronto (56-56) 7:07 pm EDT

TORONTO (Ticker) -- Bobby Abreu hopes his hot bat propels the New York Yankees to their sixth consecutive win when they face the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday in the finale of a three-game series.

Abreu, who drove in four runs in Tuesday's 9-2 victory over the Blue Jays, is 16-for-31 (.516) with three home runs and 15 RBI in his last eight games. The 33-year-old Venezuelan is batting .286 with 11 blasts and 74 RBI on the season.

Abreu is just 1-for-6 in his career against Toronto starter Roy Halladay (12-5, 4.13 ERA), who yielded four runs and seven hits with two walks and nine strikeouts over six innings in a 6-4 triumph over the Texas Rangers on Friday.

The 30-year-old righthander has given up seven runs over 30 innings in his previous four starts.

The Yankees will counter with Chien-Ming Wang (13-5, 3.49), who has registered a win in each of his last three starts. The Tawainese righthander hurled seven innings, relinquishing just one run and seven hits with three strikeouts in Friday's 7-1 victory over the Kansas City Royals.
