Wang Falls to 3-4 on the Season...

MLB:
After struggling through the first 3 innings, Wang managed to settle down and blank the Angels for the next 5 innings. The Angels would score 3 in the top of the first and that was all opposing pitcher Kelvim Escobar needed as the Angels beat the Yankees 3-1 on Sat. Wang was consistently throwing his 2-seam(sinker) and 4-seam fastball at 91 and 94 mph respectively. He was clocked at a high of 95 a few times. Despite picking up his 4th loss on the season, Wang earned praise for his effort from manager Joe Torre,
"For the first three innings, [Wang] had trouble locating, and then after that he just dug in. He's special. There's no question. He's not going to back off; he's going to keep fighting you, and he certainly put himself in a position to stop the damage and try to win a ballgame."
Wang's final line for the night: 8 innings - 6 hits - 3 runs allowed to go along with 6 K's and 4 walks(both season highs). Box/Recap
