The New York Yankees take on the Pittsburgh Pirates tonight at 7:05 at PNC Park in game 2 of the 3 game set. Yankees phenom Joba Chamberlain (1-2) takes on LHP Zach Duke (4-4). Joba in his last 3 games is 0-0 with 16 innings, 2.25ERA, 8 walks, 16 strikeouts on 267 pitches. In his last game Joba got the no decision in the Yankees win over the Padres going 5.2 innings giving up 4 hits, 1ER, 3 walks, and 9 strikeouts on 100 pitches. Zach Duke is 1-0 in his last 3 games with 19.0 innings, 2.84ERA, 3 walks, 11 strikeouts on 278 pitches. Duke got a no decision in his last game out against Toronto going 7 innings giving up 6 hits, 0ER, 1 walk, and 4 strikeouts on 97 pitches. Joba should have no problem tonight controlling the Pirates lineup. He needs to show the control that he had when he was coming out of the pen.
