<h3>Perhaps without Rodriguez, Yankees look to Wang for win</h3>

<div class="pre">Minnesota (42-39) at NY Yankees (39-41) 7:05 pm EDT</div>

BRONX, New York (Ticker) - The New York Yankees could be withoutAlex Rodriguez when they continue a four-game series againstthe Minnesota Twins on Tuesday.

In the sixth inning of Monday's series opener, last season'sAmerican League MVP, Justin Morneau, inadvertently Rodriguez,the 2005 AL MVP winner, as he was running out the play at firstbase. Rodriguez was diagnosed with a strained left hamstring,leaving him day-to-day.

The last time the Yankees third baseman, who leads the majorswith 28 homers and 80 RBI, went on the disabled list was sevenyears ago, in July 2000, with a right knee strain.

"I dont know (what happened)," Rodriguez said. "Two big guysbanged up each other pretty good there. I think we're bothfortunate because it could have been ugly for him and for me."

The one bit of good news is that Chien-Ming Wang (7-4, 3.86 ERA)will be following a vintage performance from Roger Clemens. Thesinkerballer has done well against the Twins in his briefcareer, going 1-0 with a 2.57 ERA in two career starts againstMinnesota.

Wang is 4-0 over his last six outings but has been roughed up tothe tune of 10 earned runs over his last two starts, bothno-decisions, including Thursday's suspended game againstBaltimore. He surrendered six runs and nine hits over 6 1/3innings in that contest.

Minnesota will respond with Carlos Silva (6-8, 4.15). Therighthander is looking to win three straight starts for thefirst time since July 26-August 5 of last season.

Silva yielded five runs and six hits with two walks and fivestrikeouts in his last outing on Thursday, helping the Twins toan 8-5 win over Toronto.
