 Wang, who has won six of his last seven decisions, allowed two runs and seven hits in six innings. He yielded a sacrifice fly and solo home run to Carlos Pena, whose 43 homers and 118 RBIs are season records for the Devil Rays.

Jonny Gomes hit a two-run homer off fading Luis Vizcaino in the eighth.

Yankees manager Joe Torre met with Steinbrenner and other Yankees officials, including general manager Brian Cashman, over lunch earlier in the day. They discussed a variety of topics, but not the manager's future.

Torre is in the final year of his contract.

"We don't talk about it," Torre said. "We just talked about team, basically. They wanted to get a feel on what Brian and I thought about the guys we're going forward with."

Meanwhile, the Yankees said Roger Clemens will remain in Florida to continue his rehab program for a strained left hamstring when the team leaves St. Petersburg to close out the regular season at Baltimore.

The seven-time Cy Young Award winner tweaked the hamstring last week and was scratched from Tuesday's scheduled start against the Devil Rays.

Cashman said Clemens could throw a simulated game in Tampa. He stressed that the team thinks the 45-year-old right-hander will be ready to pitch next week.
