Yankees (61-50)
Matt Harrison, LHP (2-2, 7.40)
Rangers (58-54)

Scouting Report:
Yankees: Pettitte completed his evening Thursday charged with nine runs on a season-high 11 hits over 5 1/3 innings. He walked three and struck out two, losing for just the third time in his last 14 starts. In 19 career starts against Texas, Pettitte is 9-7 with a 5.36 ERA.

Rangers: Harrison's starts at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington have been declining. After winning his Major League debut at home, allowing two runs in seven innings to the Angels, he's had more runs allowed than innings pitched in his last two home outings. In his most recent, he allowed six runs -- four earned -- to the Mariners in 4 2/3 innings and he walked five. "I try to concentrate on keeping the ball down here, but you don't want to put it in the dirt," he said. Harrison took the loss, giving him a 12.41 ERA in his two losses this season. Harrison will have the opportunity to improve his home numbers Tuesday in his first career start against the Yankees.
