how about the marlins starter sean west ewent down fighting to the yanks in his last outing.ched four innings and gave up 10 hits and five earned runs. he did strikeout seven giems. -- guys. pretty tough to pitch in that new yankee stadium. he kind of pitches backwards. he's a funny left-hander. 6'8", but the opposition batting average against left- handers when he throws against left-handers, they're hitting .316 off him. that's unbelievable. thean then, the right-handers are the ones having trouble with himment they're only hitting .198. you figure that one out. one of them tells me he throws the changeup to right-handers and has no off-speed pitches to the left-handed hitters. that's why they probably hit him so good. >> how about the key to the game, rick? >> the key to the game, we've got to bear down on defense. the o's are 10-12 when they commit one error in a ballgame. then, with more than one error, they're 3-7. so, the key to this ballgame really is play a good defensive game. let our offense, which is really cooking early, middle, late. especially that good, late s
