Jeter is not in the line up as lead off hitter. Damon leads off, Swisher second, Rodriguez, Teixeira, Cano, Posada, Matsui, Cabrera, and Pena batting ninth, playing short stop for the captain.
Wang walks one in the first, but gets out of it with a double play behind him. He knows everyone is watching his start today. Wang gives up a home run to Dunn in the forth. Then in the fifth he gives up a triple and 2 more runs. The Yankees get their first run, and hit, in the bottom of the fifth. Cano hits a home run to get the Yankees on the board.
Wang was taken out in the sixth, replaced by Hughes. First three pitched by Hughes, Strike out. STARTER!!! Giving up only 1 hit, Hughes is taken out in the eighth and replaced by Phil Coke, who has 3 strike outs and 1 walk.
It goes to the bottom of the ninth. 3-1, Yankees down, but not out. Damon leads off the inning with a home run. But thats all they get. With only 4 hits in the game, the Yankees fall, 3-2.
Wang pitched 5 innings gave up 3 runs off of 6 hits with 2 walks and 4 strike outs. It is much better than his previous starts, but in this league you can't give up 3 runs if the bats aren't working. Hughes was taken out in the eighth and replaced by Coke. He pitched 2 innings, gave up only 1 hit with 2 strike outs.
Cano went 1-4 with a home run, Damon went 2-4 with a home run and a double.
