The AL East's top team will send ace CC Sabathia to the mound Sunday with a chance to complete its second sweep of Toronto in the Bronx in three weeks.
He hit his first major league homer in September 1974 off future Hall of Famer Steve Carlton as a 20-year-old rookie Carter homered 11 times against the ace lefty, his top victim.
The Mariners' ace was in the midst of another top outing at Yankee Stadium, outpitching CC Sabathia in the first matchup between the former Cy Young Award winners and taking a 3-0 lead into the sixth inning.
