[外電] Wang's 17th extends Wild Card lead
NEW YORK -- There's no denying how much the Yankees need strong pitching
performances every night, and there's no cheapening how valuable an ace like
Chien-Ming Wang can be.
But when the Yankees' offense is clicking, it's hard to imagine any of that
mattering.
Wang allowed one run in 7 1/3 innings against the Mariners, guiding the
Yankees to a 12-3 win and pushing their American League Wild Card edge back
to two games. And while the Yankees needed that dominance early, they weren't
quite as dependent on it later, after the offense awoke for three runs in the
sixth inning and seven more in the seventh to blast open the game.
The Yankees drilled four home runs in all -- one each from Alex Rodriguez and
Bobby Abreu, and two from Jorge Posada -- and tallied up 19 hits. Eight of
those came in the seventh, when the Yankees sent 12 batters to the plate and
scored more than half of them. By the time that rally was complete, every
Yankees starter other than Hideki Matsui had collected at least one hit and
one RBI, and Matsui reached base twice himself.
Abreu and Robinson Cano had four hits apiece, while A-Rod, Posada and Wilson
Betemit also chipped in with multi-hit games. By the time Wang left the game
in the eighth, the Yankees had already taken a 10-run lead and replaced a
third of their regulars with reserves.
And in the end, all of that overshadowed Wang's brilliance. The right-hander
needed only 86 pitches to cruise into the eighth, allowing just five hits and
an isolated Adrian Beltre home run. He struck out only on7 but induced 17
ground-ball outs, leaving to a standing ovation.
The Yankees survived a scare in the seventh inning, when Rodriguez,
attempting to go from first to third base on a Posada single, slid headfirst
into the third-base bag. A-Rod rolled over and clutched his right knee in
pain, but after a short delay and a visit from the training staff, he
remained in the game. Alberto Gonzalez replaced him for his second at-bat of
the inning, with the Yankees having already built a 10-run lead.
