Yankees look to end road trip on high note
The Yankees have played 10 of their first 13 games of the season on the road, going 3-7 in the process. On Wednesday, they will close out the second road trip of the young season, looking to head home on a high note.
Mike Mussina takes the mound for the Yankees, taking on former teammate Ted Lilly and the Blue Jays. Toronto won the first game of the two-game set, overcoming an early 4-0 lead to hand New York a 10-5 loss at Rogers Centre.
"They weren't intimidated by our lead. They went out and put some runs on the board," said Johnny Damon. "This is going to be a tough year, with a bunch of tough games against those guys. They're definitely very dangerous."
Mussina looks to bounce back after a hard-luck loss to the Twins last Friday. He allowed three runs in 6 2/3 innings in the loss, his first of the season.
In 35 career starts against the Blue Jays, Mussina is 18-11 with a 3.48 ERA, though he went 1-1 with a 10.24 ERA in two outings last season.
