Without Rodriguez, Yankees go for third straight win

Apr 23, 2008 - 1:18 PM NY Yankees (11-10) at Chi White Sox (11-8) 8:11 pm EDT

CHICAGO (Ticker) - The New York Yankees will be without star third baseman Alex Rodriguez for the second straight game Wednesday as they square off against the Chicago White Sox.

With the Yankees seeking their third consecutive victory, Rodriguez is in Miami with his wife, who gave birth to the couple's second child late Monday.

The reigning American League MVP, Rodriguez also strained his right quadriceps during Sunday's game with Baltimore and is listed as day-to-day.

Even without the three-time MVP, New York dispatched of the White Sox, 9-5, in the first game of the series Tuesday on the strength of a seventh-inning grand slam by Bobby Abreu.

The Yankees will send veteran righthander Mike Mussina (1-3, 5.75 ERA) to the mound in this one.

The 39-year-old Mussina is coming off his worst outing of the young season, surrendering five runs and seven hits over three frames in Thursday's 7-5 loss to the rival Boston Red Sox.

He will be opposed by Javier Vazquez (3-1, 3.20), who is looking for his fourth straight win. The righthander gave up two runs and struck out four over 6 1/3 innings during a 9-2 triumph over the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday.
