Bautista's late homer helps secure Jays win over White Sox In the middle of June, the Blue Jays maintained a season-long quest to stabilize their underperforming pitching rotation. Enter Chien-Ming Wang, the fourth player from Taiwan to make the majors and, for a span of 21/2 seasons with the New York Yankees, one of the American League's most dominant pitchers. In his debut for the Blue Jays on Tuesday at U.S. Cellular Field, Wang relied on his trademark sinker to endure 71/3 innings. Never mind the 10 hits and five runs allowed in a 7-5 10-inning victory over the White Sox. By the rotation's standards this season, he nearly completed the marathon. In the club's 64 prior games, only 12 times had a starting pitcher made it through seven innings. By consequence, the bullpen has logged more innings, and used more pitchers, than any major-league team. Wang's endurance should qualify him for another look Sunday in Texas, especially as right-hander Brandon Morrow's return date from a strained forearm is uncertain. Wang left with the Jays trailing 5-4. Jose Bautista tied the game with a two-out, two-strike solo homer in the ninth inning off Addison Reed, spoiling what would have been the Chicago closer's 20th save. Rajai Davis flashed his speed in the 10th, singling, stealing second, moving to third on Adam Lind's fly out, and scoring on Ramon Troncoso's wild pitch. Maicer Izturis added a run-scoring double. Wang's career derailed in June of 2008 when he tore a tendon in his right foot running the bases in an interleague game, scoring from second on a Derek Jeter single in Houston. With the Yankees, Wang, 33, led the American League with 19 wins in 2006 to finish second in the Cy Young award voting, replicated the 19-win total in 2007, and in 2008 was on pace to match. Ever since, he's been trying to recover that magic. Wang went 1-6 in a half-season in 2009, missed 2010 with a shoulder injury, and appeared in 21 total games for Washington the past two seasons. Re-signed by the Yankees at the end of spring training to a minor-league deal, he'd gone 4-4 with a 2.33 ERA for the team's Triple-A affiliate. "We don't know what he is, but we'll see," Jays manager John Gibbons said before the game. He's got a track record and he has a good chance to get back to the big leagues. We like him, enough to bring him in here and give him a shot. Hopefully that will stabilize us a little bit. The 6-foot-4, 225-pound right-hander threw his fastball at 91 mph. While down from his 94-mph heyday with the Yankees, in three tidy innings at the outset he got ahead of hitters, kept the sinker down in the strike zone, and maintained a low pitch count. In the fourth inning with a 2-1 lead, facing the Chicago lineup a second time, he gave up a two-out RBI single to Dayan Viciedo and left a pitch up for Conor Gillaspie, who drilled a three-run homer. Adam Dunn had hit a solo homer in the second inning, the combination giving Chicago a 5-2 edge. Edwin Encarnacion's 18th homer in the fifth inning off Jose Quintana closed the gap to 5-4. Wang escaped a no-out, bases-loaded jam in the sixth by striking out cleanup hitter Paul Konerko with a pitch that dropped into Lake Michigan, followed by a double-play liner from Dunn to shortstop Munenori Kawasaki. Some better situational hitting, in particular from the slumping J.P. Arencibia (past 10 games, 3-for-41), might have given Wang a win. Arencibia struck out three times with runners in scoring position. He was at the plate, ironically, when Davis scored the winner.
