Preview:

After a strong showing by Darrell Rasner, the Yankee rotation is starting to show some stability. Rasner helped the Yankees back to .500 and today, the Yankees look to Andy Pettitte to pull them into the black.

Pettitte is coming off a strong pitching performance in Cleveland where he went 6+ and only gave up 2 runs. He is opposed by Nate Robertson, who somehow beat the Yankees on May 1st despite the fact that he sucks.

With a lefty pitching and Betemit on the DL, I would expect to see Morgan Ensberg and possibly Shelley Duncan in RF or 1B, probably RF as Giambi is starting to come around.

UPDATE: It is raining and the tarp is on the field. If the game is rained out, the Yankees will not need a fifth starter this week and can skip Kei Igawa. As much as I hate days without baseball, a rainout may be for the best.

UPDATE: The game has been postponed due to rain. Kei Igawa should catch the next flight to Scranton.
