Yankees - Pirates / Mussina - Maholm


Tonight the New York Yankees take on the Pittsburgh Pirates in game 3 of the 3 game set. Mike Mussina (10-5) takes on LHP Paul Maholm (5-5). Mike Mussina is 1-1 in his lat 3 games going 22 innings, 3.68ERA, 2 walks, 11K's on 289 pitches. In his last game he went 8 innings giving up 10 hits, 4ER, 2 walks, striking out 4 on 111 pitches against the Reds. Paul Maholm (the guy Billy Crystal got a piece of) is 1-0 in his last 3 games pitching 19.2 innings 4.12ERA, 6 walks, 9K's on 281 pitches. In his last game he pitched 7 innings giving up 7 hits, 3ER, 3 walks, 1K on 99 pitches. The Yankees are facing another LHP so look for the same lineup that played in the past 2 games. Posada will most likely get a rest tonight, and Molina or Moeller will get the start.

Notes: The rosters for the 2008 MLB Futures Game will be released at 3 p.m. check back for updates.
