Starting pitcher Wang Chien-ming (???) got his first major-league victory as the New York Yankees overcame a two-run deficit against the Seattle Mariners for a 7-4 victory on Tuesday night.
"Our pitching staff has done a great job of getting us on this roll here," Tino Martinez said. "Our confidence level obviously is growing."
Wang (1-1), a right-hander, starting because Jaret Wright is on the disabled list, allowed runs in each of the first two innings, but only two hits after that. He became the fifth straight Yankees starter to allow three runs or fewer, giving up three runs and four hits in 7 1-3 innings. The crowd of 39,780 gave him a standing ovation when he was taken out.
