<div class="pre">Baltimore (64-85) at NY Yankees (86-64) 7:05 pm EDT</div>

BRONX, New York (Ticker) - The New York Yankees continue theirplayoff push Tuesday when they meet the Baltimore Orioles.

After rookies Joba Chamberlain and Phil Hughes won the last twonights, the Yankees turn to veteran Mike Mussina (9-10, 5.28ERA).


Mussina made his return to the rotation last Wednesday, allowingfive hits over 5 2/3 scoreless innings in beating Toronto.

New York, which has won 10 of its last 12 games, has closed within3 1/2 games of first-place Boston (90-61) in the American LeagueEast. The Yankees are 3 1/2 games in front of Detroit (83-68)in the wild card race.


Hughes worked 5 2/3 effective innings and Hideki Matsui homered,leading the Yankees to an 8-5 win in the series opener.

Playing out the string, Baltimore has lost 20 of its last 26games.


Taking the mound to try to put at least a temporary stopto the slide is righthander Jon Leicester (2-1, 6.32), a recentaddition to the rotation who made five appearances out of thebullpen before making his first start September 8 againstBoston, earning an 11-5 win.


Leicester has won both of his two starts, most recently tossing5 2/3 strong innings in a 3-0 win over the Angels on Thursday.
