Anderson looks to build on amazing game vs. Yankees

ANAHEIM, California (Ticker) - Coming off a career game, Garret Anderson looks to propel the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim to a three-game sweep of the New York Yankees on Wednesday.

Anderson led the way in Tuesday's 18-9 win, becoming just the 12th player in baseball history to post 10 RBI in a single game. The veteran outfielder had a grand slam in his mammoth night.

Anderson had a chance to break the all-time American League record of 11 RBI in a game set by the Yankees' Tony Lazzeri on May 24, 1936. However, he grounded out in the eighth inning.

One game after helping Kelvim Escobar win his 14th game, Anderson will look help to help John Lackey (15-7, 3.32 ERA) become the majors' first 16-game winner. Lackey will need to recover from a poor outing in an 8-4 loss at Boston on Friday in which he surrendered seven runs and 11 hits over a season-low four innings.

The righthander has struggled in his career against the Yankees, going 4-6 with a 4.90 ERA in 12 starts. However, he is 1-0 with a 1.69 ERA in two starts against them this season.

Countering Lackey will be Andy Pettitte (10-7, 3.80), who is looking to win his fifth straight start. In Friday's 6-1 win over Detroit, he yielded just one run and five hits over eight innings.

The lefthander is 11-6 with a 4.15 ERA in 21 career starts against the Angels.

New York, which has lost 11 of its last 15 games here, has fallen six games behind Boston (76-50) in the AL East.
