News & Notes

- Happy 79th birthday to Yankees owner George M. Steinbrenner III.

- Happy 233rd birthday to the United States of America.

- Chien-Ming Wang has made 9 career starts against the Blue Jays and is 4-2, with a 4.63 ERA. His last start against Toronto came on June 5th of last year, a game that saw the Jays beat up Wang for 7 runs (6 earned) on five hits and four walks in just 4.1 innings pitched.

- In 33 games (31 starts) Roy Halladay is 16-5 with a 2.79 ERA against the Yanks. In the Bronx he's 7-4 with a 2.97 ERA. And in the only time he's faced them this year, struck out five and held them to just one run in a complete game five-hitter.

- Robinson Cano is 0 for his last 15 with runners in scoring position, and on the year he's batting .208 with RISP.

- Derek Jeter has a nine-game hitting streak.

- Jays third baseman Scott Rolen has a 20-game hitting streak, the longest current streak in the AL. Hopefully The Wanger can put an end to that.
