Wang Adds to His Arsenal

It was another great outing for Chien Ming Wang as he continued his winning ways, tying the season series against the Mets and pitching a near-complete game (Myers got the last out). Like the typical Wang game, there were a lot of double-play setups, but the infield got a bit of a break this time as Wang struck out 10 batters. In the minors, Wang had the tools to be just about any type of pitcher. Stepping up into the majors, the Yankees had him concentrate on his sinker. For the past few seasons, he's earned a reputation as a ground ball specialist, setting up DPs, racking up assists and keeping homers to a minimum. It seems like he's starting to work his other skills into his MLB arsenal, which will allow him to change strategy and throw off opposing teams' scouting reports. I look forward to many more Wang victories up ahead. His consistency is going to make the chase for the division lead easier.
