Wang Wins #13.....

MLB:
CMW had an outstanding performance against the KC Royals tonight. Scattering 7 hits over 7+ innings, he allowed only 1 ER to go along with 3 K's and 1 walk. Wang's mechanics were much better tonight as he threw 68 of 98 pitches for strikes and induced 12 ground ball outs vs. 6 fly outs. The Yankees beat the Royals 7-1. With the win, Wang now joins the AL leaders in wins with 13 - although it looks like CC Sabathia will pick up win #14 tonight.
