Pitching matchup: Tonight's game

 
Chien-Ming Wang has emerged as the unquestioned ace of a Yankees staff that has otherwise struggled. In his last outing, May 13 at Tampa Bay, Wang earned a no-decision in the Rays' 2-1 victory, allowing one run in seven innings. Wang's one career start against the Mets came June 17 of last year when he earned the win in an 8-2 victory, striking out a career-best 10. [link]
