 NEW YORK (AP) - Chien-Ming Wang's pitching performance looked pretty impressive Tuesday night — until he was outdone by a brand new teammate. Edwar Ramirez struck out all three batters he faced in his major league debut, including AL MVP Justin Morneau, to close out the New York Yankees' 8-0 victory over the slumping Minnesota Twins.
The last Yankees pitcher to strike out the side in his big league debut was Stan Bahnsen on Sept. 9, 1966, at Boston, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. Bahnsen set down Joe Foy, Carl Yastrzemski and Tony Conigliaro.
"I talked to myself: `You want to stay here, you can stay here. Let's go,'" Ramirez said.
