<h3>Surging Yankees shoot for sweep of Orioles</h3>

Baltimore (64-86) at NY Yankees (87-64) 7:05 pm EDT

BRONX, New York (Ticker) -- Robinson Cano and the New YorkYankees have played their way back into contention for theAmerican League East Division, much to the displeasure of theBoston Red Sox.


The Yankees look to apply some more pressure on the first-placeRed Sox when they host the struggling Baltimore Orioles in thefinale of a three-game series Wednesday.


New York, which owned a 21-29 record on May 30, has won 11 ofits last 13 contests to climb within 2 1/2 games of rival Bostonin the AL East. The Yankees enter Wednesday with theirsmallest division deficit since before play on April 21.

Cano has been a major factor in the Yankees' revival, batting.338 with 15 homers and 54 RBI over his last 54 games. The24-year-old second baseman had three hits - including a double -and two RBI in Tuesday's 12-0 triumph.


New York has a good chance of narrowing Boston's lead evenfurther on Wednesday when Andy Pettitte (13-8, 3.89 ERA) takesthe mound.


Pettitte, who was named AL Pitcher of the Month in August aftergoing a perfect 6-0, has struggled in September, posting a 1-1record in three starts.


During his last outing, Pettitte was roughed up by the Red Sox,allowing five runs - four earned - and nine hits over just fourinnings.


The 35-year-old lefthander did not factor in the decision,however, as the Yankees rallied for six runs in the eighthinning to overcome a five-run deficit in Friday's 8-7 victory.

The Orioles counter with Brian Burres (6-5, 5.47), who won hisfirst game since July 28 during his last start. Burresscattered eight hits over seven shutout innings en route to a6-2 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday.
