Yankees starting playoff preparation
Sep 29, 2007 - 1:29 PM Ny Yankees (92-68) at Baltimore (69-91) 7:05 pm EDTBALTIMORE (Ticker) - For the first time since 1997, The New York Yankees will not be celebrating a division title.
The Yankees will look to close their season out on a positive note when they face the Baltimore Orioles in the second of a three-game series Saturday.
Melvin Mora's game-winning bunt single in the bottom of the 10th inning helped the Orioles rally for a 10-9 victory Friday. The win handed the AL East title to the Boston Red Sox, who defeated the Minnesota Twins, 5-2.
New York had already assured itself a 13th straight postseason berth by clinching at least the AL wild card on Wednesday.
The Yankees will send veteran lefthander Andy Pettitte (14-9, 3.81 ERA) to the mound. The 13-year veteran is 1-1 with a 2.38 ERA in four outings - three starts - against the Orioles this season.
Baltimore will counter with Daniel Cabrera (9-17, 5.36), who has lost his previous five decisions. The Dominican righthander leads the major leagues with 107 walks.
The Orioles, who have ensured themselves that they will not finish in last place in the division, are seeking their third straight win.
