<h3>Wang, Yankees aim for sweep against rival Red Sox</h3>



<div class="pre">Boston (80-53) at NY Yankees (74-59) 1:05 pm EDT</div>

BRONX, New York (Ticker) - Chien-Ming Wang and the New YorkYankees aim to inch closer to a playoff berth in the AmericanLeague.


Wang will take the mound as the Yankees look for a sweep of therival Boston Red Sox in the finale of a three-game set at YankeeStadium on Thursday afternoon.


On Wednesday night, Roger Clemens tossed six solid innings andAlex Rodriguez blasted an important home run for New York, whichposted an exciting 4-3 victory over Boston in the middle gameof the series.


With the win, the Yankees climbed within six games of thefirst-place Red Sox in the AL East Division. They also pulledeven with the Seattle Mariners (73-58) atop the wild cardstandings.


New York hopes to continue its ascent behind Wang (15-6, 3.95ERA), who is 4-4 with a 4.78 ERA in 10 games - nine starts -against Boston in his career. This season, the righthander is2-1 with a 4.50 ERA in three outings against the Red Sox.

Wang came up big in his last start, allowing just two runs - oneearned - and five hits in eight innings in a crucial 7-2 winlast Saturday against the Detroit Tigers, who are right behindthe Yankees in the wild card race.


Boston will counter with Curt Schilling (8-5, 4.11), who is mostremembered for his gutsy Game Six victory at New York in the2004 AL Championship Series en route to the Red Sox's firstWorld Series victory in 86 years.


But the righthander has struggled in three starts against theYankees this season, posting an 0-1 mark with a 7.00 ERA inthree starts.


Looking to salvage the final game of the set, Boston again willplay without slugger Manny Ramirez, who has back spasms.
