<h3>Yankees look to Pettitte in rubber game vs. Red Sox</h3>



Ny Yankees (23-30) at Boston (37-17), 8:05 pm EDT

BOSTON (Ticker) -- In order to take the rubber game of thispivotal series with the Boston Red Sox, the New York Yankees pintheir hopes on Andy Pettitte.

Pettitte and the Yankees look to make up ground on theDivision-leading Red Sox when the teams face off Sunday night.

New York is 13 1/2 games behind Boston after suffering an 11-6loss Saturday afternoon. A victory here would go a long wayfrom erasing the memory of two Derek Jeter errors and the lossof first baseman Doug Mientkiewicz who suffered a mildconcussion, a cervical sprain and a fractured bone in his rightwrist in a collision with Mike Lowell at fist base.

Pettitte (3-4, 2.51 ERA), who is fourth in the American Leaguein ERA, has surrendered three runs or fewer in six consecutivestarts while pitching at least seven innings in his last fiveappearances.

The veteran lefthander is 1-1 with a 4.00 ERA in three startsthis season against the Red Sox, including a one run and ninehit effort over seven innings in an 8-3 home victory on May 23.Pettitte is 14-6 with a 3.19 ERA in 24 career regular-seasonstarts against Boston.

The Red Sox counter with Josh Beckett (8-0, 2.65), who looks tokeep his perfect record intact as he faces the Yankees for thesecond time in 2007. The righthander was sharp in his firststart off the disabled list Tuesday, limiting Cleveland to tworuns and three hits in seven innings in a 4-2 victory.

Beckett is the first Red Sox starter to win his first eightdecisions since Roger Clemens opened 14-0 in 1986. The 27-yearold did have his worst performance this season against New Yorkon April 21. He allowed five runs and nine hits through 6 1-3innings in a 7-5 victory, and is 3-2 with an 8.44 ERA in fivecareer regular-season starts against them.

Pettitte and the Yankees have lost six of eight and he has to beaware of Boston slugger Manny Ramirez, who is batting .418(28-for-67) with three homers off him.
