Another Early Exit

As with Monday's game, another Yankee starter got knocked out early as Chien-Ming Wang left after just 3 2/3 innings. Wang was pulled out of the game after surrendering a Nick Markakis 2-run HR to cap off the Orioles 5-run inning. Wang's line:

IP: 3.2, H: 9, ER: 7, BB: 3, SO: 0

It marked the second straight game in which the Yankees starter gave up 6+ runs, lasted less than 5 innings, and didn't record a strikeout (although he's not as well known for K's as CC). A bad start for the Yankees' hyped rotation.

Some other notes from todays game:
Jeter's continued his good start to the season as he's been on base twice now...Teixeira has still not recorded as he's 0-for-3 today after going 0-for-4 yesterday. He has had a runner on base every time he's batted
