Chien-Ming Wang won his 18th game of the season as the Yanks beat the Rays, 4-1 on Friday night. Gary Sheffield didn’t get a hit but made a couple of nice picks at first. Mariano Rivera wasn’t particularly sharp in his return but he did manage to strike out the side in the ninth.

Cliff is getting married today and will be honeymooning in Italy for several weeks (he won’t return until after the ALDS). Go Cliff and Becky and go Yanks!
