Jeter, Yankees look to split series against Rangers

Aug 7, 2008 - 2:01 PM NY Yankees (62-52) at Texas (60-55), 8:05 pm EDT

ARLINGTON, Texas (Ticker) -- Derek Jeter and the New York Yankees will attempt to salvage a split of their four-game series with the Texas Rangers on Thursday.

After Texas won the first two games, Jeter drove in a pair of runs and Jason Giambi hit a solo homer to lead the Yankees to a 5-3 triumph over the Rangers on Wednesday.

Jeter, who collected two hits, is batting .281 with six home runs and 53 RBI.

The Rangers hope righthander Scott Feldman (4-4, 4.97 ERA) can slow down Jeter and the rest of the Yankees' talented offense. The 25-year-old Feldman had his three-game winning streak snapped in his last outing, falling to the Toronto Blue Jays.

New York will counter with Mike Mussina (14-7, 3.44), who is hoping to join Cleveland's Cliff Lee as the only 15-game winners in the American League. The veteran righthander has won four of his last five decisions.

Michael Young homered and rookie Chris Davis delivered a two-run single Wednesday for Texas, which had its three-game winning streak snapped.
