The Yankees were one of four AL East teams to get shutout by AL West teams last night — the Red Sox (vs. Rangers), Blue Jays (vs. Mariners), and Orioles (vs. Angels) also scored zero runs — so at least the rest of the division hit as poorly as the boys in the Bronx. The day game following the night game means a quick turn-around and a chance to make amends for the loss with a win this afternoon. Here’s the starting nine…
- CF Brett Gardner
- 2B Robinson Cano
- LF Vernon Wells
- DH Travis Hafner
- RF Ichiro Suzuki
- 3B Chris Nelson
- 1B Lyle Overbay
- SS Eduardo Nunez
- C Chris Stewart
And on the mound is the man the Yankees selected with the first round pick they received from the Astros when Andy Pettitte signed with Houston, right-hander Phil Hughes.
We’ve got some excellent weather for this afternoon’s game, which is scheduled to start a little after 1pm ET and can be seen on YES. Enjoy.
