Mussina hoping to halt Yankees' road misery vs. Angels
Aug 21, 2007 - 2:09 PM NY Yankees (70-55) at LA Angels (73-51) 10:05 pm EDTANAHEIM, California (Ticker) - The New York Yankees look to turn around their struggles at Angel Stadium on Tuesday when thye continue a three-game series against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
New York has dropped 10 of its last 14 games here, including a 7-6 setback on Monday. The Yankees fell five games behind Boston (75-50) in the American League East and 1 1/2 games back of Seattle (70-52) in the wild card race.
Mussina (8-8, 4.76) takes the mound for the Yankees. After a slow start, the veteran righthander has won three of his last four starts. But the loss came Thursday, when he was ropped for seven runs and nine hits over five innings in an 8-5 setback to Detroit.
Mussina is 15-8 with a 3.43 ERA in 30 lifetime starts against the Angels.
The Angels, who hold a two-game lead over Seattle in the AL West, send Kelvim Escobar (13-6, 2.68) to the mound. The veteran righthander is seeking to become the seventh AL pitcher to reach 14 wins, which would tie a career high.
Since the start of June, Escobar has only allowed three runs in a game once in 13 starts, managing a 7-3 record with a 2.45 ERA in that time.
Escobar is 7-7 with a 4.98 ERA lifetime against the Yankees.
