first 2 unit play of the young season
Clev[Carmona] at N.Y.[ Rasner] -160
Real bad spot for this kid Carmona.He is coming off his first start this season in which the CWS whacked him around.He allowed six runs in 4 1-3 innings in his season debut on Friday..Now he gets to toe the rubber in Yankee Stadium in a day game where he sports an ERA of 5.06 over his short career.Add in his 5.35 ERA on Grass..compound that w/his out of the suitcase 6.81 ERA..throw in that in his career opposing hitters have hit .298 against him make the chances of a bright day in the sun at Yankee Stadium very slim.
Yanks yet to have a 3 game winning streak in this young season and get their chance at home w/ around 30,000 screaming Yankee fans propelling the team toward the upcoming RedSox series..
Yanks send Rasner who gave up three unearned runs -- all in the first inning -- in 5 1-3 innings of the Yankees' 13-inning, 4-3 win in Oakland on Saturday
New York, which has outscored the Indians 19-5 and outhit them 24-10 in the first two games of this series, is trying for its first sweep of Cleveland since taking a four-game series July 17-20, 2003.
Yanks bullpen over the last 2 games w/Clev. has 7 innings of relief and not allowed a run.
Like my chances here..
