Toronto at Yankees

Toronto at Yankees The Yankees will host the Toronto Blue Jays today at 1:00PM. A.J. Burnett will take the mound against his former team who he lost to earlier this year when he went head to head with Roy Halladay and didn't fare too well. Here are the notes and lineup from Peter Abraham of the Yankees Lohud Blog.

Big Tex has gone 65 at bats without a homerun, his last one was June 12, the Yankees really need him to break out of it and get going again.

Robinson Cano is 16 of his last 26 with 6 extra base hits in his last 7 games at home.

He doesn't have a rbi in 12 games though. He is 4 for 6 this month and is a career 349 hitter in July according to Mark Feinsand.

Hideki Matsui has 11 homeruns this year and 7 of them are against lefties.

3 relievers are rested and ready to go who are hot, MO, Phil Hughes and Phil Coke.

Yankees Lineup:
Jeter(SS)
Damon(LF)
Tex(1B)
A-rod(3B)
Cano(2B)
Swisher(RF)
Matsui(DH)
Cervelli(C)
Gardner(CF)

Jorge Posada has swelling in his thumb from being hit by a foul ball and is day to day, enjoy the game wherever you may be. Posted by Gary W. Marchese Jr. at 11:20 AM 0 comments Labels: A-rod, A.J.
