It took much longer to get it done, but the Yankees walked out of Friday's game with a 2-0 win over the Minnesota Twins. Rain was an issue all night long, causing a hour and 13 minute rain delay in the 4th inning, but once play resumed, the Yankees were able to put a pair of runs on the board and held on for the win.
Today's Lineup, 1:05 EST @ Yankee Stadium:
Gardner CF
Suzuki RF
Cano 2B
Wells DH
Overbay 1B
Almonte LF
Cruz SS
Gonzalez 3B
Romine C
Hughes P
Pitching Preview:
Phil Hughes dealt with the weather in his last start, leaving the game after the 4th inning because of a one-hour rain delay. Manager Joe Girardi removed Hughes from the game because he didn't feel comfortable with putting him bringing him back out after the long delay.
Though his outing was cut short, he still allowed two runs in four innings to the Royals. He's already faced the Twins this season, holding them to one run on six hits over seven innings in a July 2nd meeting in Minnesota.
For the second time this season, he'll be facing off against right-hander Samuel Deduno. Deduno took the loss for the second straight outing, Monday at Tampa Bay, allowing five runs on 10 hits, while walking two over six innings.
When facing the Yankees on July 2nd, he pitched well enough to earn the victory, allowing just three runs on five hits over six innings, but the Twins bullpen couldn't hold on for him.
Yankee Notes:
* Alex Rodriguez met with MLB investigators Friday to talk about his involvement with the Miami Biogenesis clinic. He was also suppose to play a rehab game with the Single-A Tampa Yankees on Friday, but it was rained out.
* Travis Hafner is still not in the lineup after taking a ball off his foot while taking batting practice prior to Wednesday's game against the Royals. Hafner is listed as day-to-day.
* Jayson Nix will head to Tampa on Monday to begin the next phase of his rehab. It's unclear if he'll return from the DL after the All-Star break when he becomes eligible to come off.
