The Yankees are on a bit of a roll now, winning four straight thanks in part to Hiroki Kuroda’s gem on Friday afternoon. Phil Hughes will try to keep the streak alive against C.J. Wilson today, hopefully showing some more efficiency against a predominantly right-handed lineup. The bullpen is well-rested, the offense has started to click, and it’s Joe’s birthday. That alone is deserving of a win. Here’s the starting nine…
SS Derek Jeter
RF Nick Swisher
2B Robinson Cano
DH Alex Rodriguez
1B Mark Teixeira
CF Curtis Granderson
LF Andruw Jones
C Russell Martin
3B Eduardo Nunez
RHP Phil Hughes
Today’s game starts a little after 1pm ET and can be seen on FOX. Enjoy.
