Tuesday Happenings....

MLB:
If things hold up the way they are now (Yankees up 9-4 in the 8th inning), Wang will pick up his 11th win of the season. CM Wang didn't have his best stuff tonight, but his offense did come through for him against the KC Royals. In the 6 innings Wang pitched, he allowed 4 runs on 7 hits - to go along with 3 K's and 2 walks. The stat of the night that stood out was the fact that Wang actually allowed more fly balls (8) than ground balls (6). Box
