Yankees.com: Melky, Yanks pick up Wang

NEW YORK—Whatever concern the Yankees had about Chien-Ming Wang’s effectiveness as a starting pitcher had not even remotely faded by the fifth inning Thursday, at which point Wang’s Yankees were losing by four runs. His forgettable return to the rotation was nearly complete. But the Yankees rallied and Melky Cabrera provided some more of his late-inning dramatics, saving Wang with a tie-breaking two-run homer that led to an 8-6 win over the Rangers. I am actually encouraged by what I saw out of Wang today.  His velocity was pretty good and his sinker was moving pretty well.  He struggled after the second, but I think that’s partially due to the fact that he hasn’t built up his stamina yet.  Granted, he did throw some long games during rehab, but pitching in the majors is surely more stressful. As for Melky, what can I say?  He’s the king of clutch apparently.
