Wang hit hard, Swisher cleans up late

Sure, it's a headline ... but it's also a headline.

The New York Yankees got the snot knocked out of them by the Tampa Bay Rays in St.Petersberg, Fla., on Monday. The Rays beat the Yanks 15-5 as starter Chien-Ming Wang allowed eight runs (all earned) on six hits in only one inning of work.

So, when Wang made a premature exit, it was only fitting that resident punchline Nick Swisher wrapped up the loss by pitching a scoreless bottom of the eighth. Not to mention he struck out a batter (insert reference to Swisher swinging-and-missing on a college cutie here) and hit his third homer of the year.

Swisher is currently batting .450, that's .550 points below where he wants to be.

And that's batting 1.000!
