<h3>RHP Mussina looking to get back on track vs. White Sox</h3>





NY Yankees (26-31) at Chi White Sox (26-29) 8:11 pm EDT

CHICAGO (Ticker) -- The New York Yankees are hitting theirstride. Mike Mussina hopes to take advantage of it.

Mussina takes the mound against the Chicago White Sox as theYankees go for their seventh win in nine games on Thursday.

Chien-Ming Wang gave the bullpen a much need break by throwing acomplete game in Wednesday's 5-1 win. It was the firstcomplete game the Yankees have had since Wang beat Tampa Bay onJuly 28 of last season.

In addition to that, the Yankees offense has woken up, averagingeight runs in the last five games. New York had been averagingjust under three runs in a recent five-game skid.

Meanwhile Mussina (2-3, 6.25 ERA) hopes that will end hisdrought of five starts without a win. To do so he will need topitch a lot better than he has been recently.

On Saturday, Mussina allowed five runs and nine hits in fiveinnings and walked four against Boston. The righthanderreceived a no-decision in that game, but it was the continuanceof a disturbing trend. The 39-year-old has allowed five or moreruns in three of his last five starts.

Chicago is the only team in the American League besides theYankees that Mussina has a losing record against. He is 15-16with a 4.72 ERA in 35 starts against the White Sox.

The White Sox will send Jose Contreras (4-5, 4.29) to the mound.Contreras is also coming off a no-decision. The righthanderallowed three runs - two earned - and nine hits over 6 1/3innings against Toronto on Saturday.

The White Sox have lost nine of 11 and have been held to threeruns or less 25 times.
