Tuesday the New York Yankees travel to Pittsburgh to take on the Pirates at 7:05 at the beautiful PNC Park. Its the first time the Yankees will be in Pittsburgh since Bill Mazeroski's walk off home run in game 7 of the 1960 World Series. Darrell Rasner takes on LHP Tom Gorzelanny. Rasner is 1-2 in his last 3 starts going 16.2 innings with 5.40 ERA 6 walks 12 strikeouts on 299 pitches. Rasner is coming off of a decent start his last time out against the Padres(5 innings 2ER 5 walks 4 strikeouts 96 pitches). Only going 5 innings is not going to cut it, but it was nice to see him get back on track(sort of). Rasner is a first pitch strike guy so if he brings his walks down from last game he should definitely be able to extend his innings. Gorzelanny is 1-1 in his last 3 starts going 18.2 innings with 4.82 ERA 10 walks 11 strikeouts on 322 pitches. Last start Gorzelanny went 6.0 innings 4 ER 4 walks 4 strikeouts 110 pitches and picked up the loss against the White Sox. Gorzelanny pitched against the Yankees last year at Yankee Stadium he went 6.1 innings gave up 6 hits 4 ER 3 walks 5 strikeouts. In that game last year Hideki Matsui was 2 for 3 2 RBI with a single and a home run.
