Step back for Hughes, step forward for Wang BY ERIK BOLAND | erik.boland@newsday.com CLEVELAND - Let the debate begin anew. Phil Hughes, with Chien-Ming Wang feeling and looking ready to start, took a step backward yesterday. Just how big has yet to be determined, and the decider didn't tip his hand after the Yankees' 5-4 loss to the Indians. Hughes, coming off a three-hit, eight-inning outing in Texas, had one bad inning against the Indians and an overall unimpressive line: four runs in five innings. Wang then shut out the Indians for three innings with a plunging sinker and velocity that consistently reached 93 mph, giving the Yankees a chance to come back from a 4-0 deficit. They did just that, tying it on Mark Teixeira's two-run homer in the sixth and two-run double in the eighth. But they lost with one out in the ninth as Phil Coke (1-3) issued a leadoff walk and David Robertson gave up a walk-off single to Jhonny Peralta. The Yankees played their 17th straight errorless game, tying the major-league record set by Boston in June 2006, but lost for the fourth time in 18 games. In three relief outings, Wang has allowed two runs in eight innings after giving up 23 runs in six innings as a starter and going on the disabled list to strengthen his hips. "We've talked all along that we believe Chien-Ming Wang is a starter, and at some point we believe he's going to be in this rotation,'' Joe Girardi said. "I'm not ready to say that right now. I love the way he is throwing the ball . . . and he helped us out a lot. As time goes on, we'll continue to evaluate everybody.'' Hughes has said before, and did again yesterday, that he's not worried about the math of six-pitchers-for-five-spots. "Not really,'' he said. "Just go out every time they give you the ball and just pitch as well as you can.'' Wang, meanwhile, said, "I'm ready.'' He threw 42 pitches and said he could have gone 70 to 80 pitches if necessary. He struck out three and got four groundouts, which is key for him. Wang did acknowledge it might take "a little bit of time'' to work up to starter level in terms of his stamina, though Girardi didn't sound concerned. Not after seeing the sharp sink and velocity, something that hadn't consistently been the case, Wang said, since before he suffered a Lisfranc sprain of the right foot last June 15. "We haven't seen it for 100 pitches but we saw it for 42,'' Girardi said, "and it was real good.'' The Yankees weren't all that good against Carl Pavano, shut out until Teixeira brought them to within 4-2 with his 16th home run. Derek Jeter, who extended his hitting streak to 14 games in the first inning, singled off Pavano with one out in the eighth. Rafael Perez allowed a double to Johnny Damon, and after Rafael Betancourt suffered a groin injury on his third pitch to Teixeira, Matt Herges allowed a long two-run double off the left-centerfield wall that tied it at 4. Coke walked Trevor Crowe to start the ninth, and after Asdrubal Cabrera twice bunted foul, he successfully bunted Crowe to second. Robertson walked Ben Francisco before Peralta turned on a 3-and-1 fastball and grounded a shot over third base to win it. "I just didn't do the job today,'' Robertson said. But Wang did and Hughes not as much, leaving a rotation spot still very much in question. -- 位子快還來~~ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.62.95.232
