Yankees vs. Orioles - May 27

The Yankees and Orioles continue their 3-game series in Baltimore tonight with Ian Kennedy going against Brian Burres. Kennedy had his first good start last Thursday, a 6 inning no decision against these same Orioles. The opposing pitcher that night was Burres, who allowed just 1 hit over 7.2 innings and is 2-2, 3.12 in his career against the Yankees.

Two lefties have had no problem with the left-handed Burres. Johnny Damon and the red hot Hideki Matsui are both 4-11. On the other hand, Bobby Abreu's 0-10 will probably get him a seat on the bench tonight in favor of Shelley Duncan.

Hey what do we know we just got the lineup from Peter Abraham:

Damon CF
Jeter SS
Abreu RF
Rodriguez 3B
Matsui LF
Giambi DH
Betemit 1B
Cano 2B
Molina C

Not surprising that Wilson Betemit gets a chance tonight though he pretty much stinks from the right side.
