Winning Streak Ends in Pt. Charlotte

We're sitting here dismayed at the fact that tickets are now going on sale for those "chosen" ones selected in last week's right to buy lottery.

Meanwhile the Yankees are in Clearwater, FL today to play the world champion Phillies. Brett Tomko gets the start as he continues his battle for the long man spot in the pen. It's Chien-Ming Wang's day to pitch, but with the game being played in an NL park, the Wang will pitch against minor leaguers back in Tampa.
UPDATE - 1:25 PM EDT: This update from Peter Abraham. Because of weather in Tampa, Chien-Ming Wang went to Dunedin to face the Blue Jays' Triple-A squad. Well, the weather prevented that too, so now The Wanger is in Clearwater to face the Phillies...if the weather holds out.

The Yankees extended their winning streak to nine games on Saturday with a 4-3 win over the Tigers. Joba Chamberlain had his third straight good start, allowing one run in three-plus innings. Johnny Damon and Mark Teixeira had RBI doubles and Melky Cabrera had a pair of hits. Juan Miranda replaced Teixeira later in the game and hit a 2-run home run, his second of the spring, that proved to be the difference in the ball game.

The streak came to end though on Sunday as the Yankees bats were silenced by the Tampa BayRays, 5-0. Phenom David Price started for Tampa and tossed four shutout innings. The Yankees managed just six hits with Robinson Cano picking up two of them. The Rays had their running shoes on, stealing five bases in six attempts.

Al Aceves gave up a run in 2.2 innings pitched and Steven Jackson allowed two runs in just an inning a third. Damaso Marte made his first appearance since returning from the WBC and threw a scoreless frame. Kei Igawa allowed his first run of the spring as he struggled with his control.

The Yankees were sloppy in the field, committing three errors. Cody Ransom, Nick Swisher, and Ramiro Pena made one misplay apiece.
