Yankees vs. Orioles - 5/21

The Yankees are need of some razzuhmuhtazz, as Shelley Duncan would put it. We're talking about Darrell Rasner of course, who the Yankees are counting on tonight to stop their 4 games slide. Rasner hasn't pitched in 11 days since he beat the Detroit Tigers on May 10. He's been hammered in 2 starts against the O's in the past.

Rookie Garret Olson is on the hill for the Orioles. The Yankees, even when not struggling, generally have trouble with pitchers they haven't seen before. On top of that, Olson is a left-handed, which knocks down the possibility of scoring runs even more.

Derek Jeter will be in tonight's lineup after getting hit on the hand last night by a Daniel Cabrera pitch. Here's tonight's Yankees lineup

Damon LF
Jeter SS
Abreu RF
Rodriguez 3B
Matsui DH
Duncan 1B
Cano 2B
Moeller C
Cabrera CF
Rasner RHP


Orioles vs. Rasner

Nick Markakis 5-5
Kevin Millar 2-3 1 HR 2 RBI
Ramon Hernandez 1-2 1 HR 3 RBI
Brian Roberts 1-5
Aubrey Huff 0-2
Melvin Mora 0-4
