<h3>Red-hot Rodriguez, Yankees go for sweep of Royals</h3>

<div class="pre">NY Yankees (80-62) at Kansas City (62-79) 2:10 pm EDT</div>

KANSAS CITY, Missouri (Ticker) -- Alex Rodriguez is knocking downclub records left and right on his way to the Most ValuablePlayer Award in the American League.


Rodriguez will look to stay hot when the Yankees go for a sweepof a three-game series against the Kansas City Royals atKauffman Stadium on Sunday.


Rodriguez, who has homered in four straight games, hit his 50thand 51st blasts of the season in Saturday's 11-5 rout. He hasnow reached the half-century mark for the third time in hiscareer, previously accomplishing the feat in 2001 and 2002 whenhe was with the Texas Rangers.


The third baseman is the first Yankee to hit 50 homers sinceRoger Maris and Mickey Mantle both accomplished the feat in1961, and he has 49 home runs as the third baseman this season,which breaks the major league record. Mike Schmidt hit 48 forthe Philadelphia Phillies in 1980 and Adrian Beltre matched itin 2004 with the Los Angeles Dodgers.


Trying to stop Rodriguez for the Royals will be starter ZackGreinke (6-5, 3.87 ERA). The 23-year-old righthander has notallowed a run in his last 19 innings pitched.


The Yankees were the last team to score on Greinke, crossing theplate five times before the youngster could record an out in arelief appearance at Yankee Stadium on August 4.


New York, which owns a three-game lead in the wild card raceover the Detroit Tigers (77-65), will counter with aceChien-Ming Wang (17-6, 3.68). The Tawainese sinkerballer haswon his past four starts while allowing just five earned runs in28 1/3 innings to thrust himself into a tight race for the ALCy Young award.

 

Re: AL: NY YANKEES (80-62) at KANSAS CITY (62-79)

As a Yanks fan, I'm looking for the sweep today. ARod has been playing out of his mind recently (and all season), and I don't foresee Greinke and co. stopping him today. Plus, Wang has been lights out recently. Hopefully he can keep his momentum going and vault us to a 5th straight win. It's just unfortunate that we can't really gain any ground in the Wild Card unless the M's remember what the word "win" means today.
