Yankees eye sweep, season-high fifth straight win

May 25, 2008 - 3:05 PM Seattle (18-32) at NY Yankees (24-25), 1:05 pm EDT

BRONX, New York (Ticker) -- The New York Yankees target their season-high fifth straight win Sunday when they host the Seattle Mariners in the finale of a three-game series.

New York was blasted, 12-2, in its series-opening loss to Baltimore on Tuesday to drop five games under .500 (20-25).

But the Yankees bounced back to win the final two games against the Orioles and carried that momentum into this series with two convincing wins over the Mariners. In those four victories, New York has outscored the opposition, 34-9.

That kind of run support could add to the woes of the Mariners, as Yankees ace Chien-Ming Wang (6-2, 3.51 ERA) takes the mound in the finale. The sinkerballer is 7-0 with a 2.39 ERA in his seven career starts vs. Seattle, which has dropped 18 of 23 overall and 12 of its last 13 road games.

Wang looks to rebound from a poor start in his last outing, when he surrendered seven runs and six hits over 7 2/3 innings in an 11-2 loss to the New York Mets last Sunday.

Seattle counters with Jarrod Washburn (2-6, 6.99), who allowed season highs in runs (nine) and hits (12) over just 2 1/3 innings in a 9-4 loss to Detroit on Wednesday.
