Another big crowd
The Rays close out their four-game series against the Yankees today and it appears that there will be another nice crowd for the series finale. Fans lined up outside the ticket windows before they opened and the Yankees fans crowded the first four rows of seats down the third-base line seeking autographs.
Edwin Jackson will make his first start since the Fourth of July, when he allowed a career-high seven runs in five innings in Boston. And Yankees starter Mike Mussina can earn his 17th career win against the Rays, making him the winningest pitcher against Tampa Bay (Mussina and Boston's Tim Wakefield are tied with 16 wins.)
Here's the Rays lineup:
Iwamura, 3B
Crawford, LF
Harris, SS
Pena, 1B
Young, RF
Upton, CF
Norton, DH
Wigginton, 2B
Navarro, C
