The New York Yankees may have caught a break by not having to face Cliff Lee in this series, but Saturday night they’ll still have to face the last starter to beat them. The Yankees hope to extend their season-high winning streak to eight when they take on Felix Hernandez and try to hand the punchless Seattle Mariners a sixth straight loss. New York had been slated to face Lee on Friday, but Seattle dealt the ace left-hander to Texas before the game along with reliever Mark Lowe for rookie first baseman Justin Smoak and three minor leaguers. The Yankees had also been interested in Lee, and reportedly had a deal in place. The Yankees may not have obtained Lee, but eventually took advantage of facing emergency starter David Pauley in a 6-1 victory. Mark Teixeira homered from both sides of the plate and Phil Hughes threw seven solid innings to become the third New York starter to reach 11 victories.
New York has not won eight in a row since a nine-game run May 13-21, 2009. Seattle - last in the AL with 292 runs - has scored 11 during its five-game skid. While the Mariners are clearly rebuilding, Hernandez is now the unquestioned ace. He has certainly pitched like one over his last five outings, going 3-0 with a 1.48 ERA. One of his victories in that span was a two-hitter in a 7-0 rout of New York on June 30, when he struck out a season-high 11. The right-hander improved to 3-3 with a 3.61 ERA in six career starts against New York, with two straight complete-game victories. Hernandez lasted seven innings Monday and yielded two runs in a 6-4, 10-inning loss to Kansas City. Yankee hitters Teixeira and Curtis Granderson have solid averages against Hernandez, but Alex Rodriguez - still three homers shy of 600 - is 2 for 10 with no homers.
