Yankees at Mariners

The New York Yankees will try and win their 3rd straight in Seattle and 5th straight overall. Here are some quick notes and lineup from Peter Abraham of Lohud Yankees Blog. Derek Jeter has 2,670 hits as a SS. The major league record is 2,673 held by Hall Of Famer Luis Aparicio. Derek Jeter will soon be passing him. MO has converted 30 straight saves, 1 shy of his career record in 2005. The Yankees have allowed 6 earned runs and struck out 27 in their last 29 innings. Thats a 1.86 era. The Yankees are 3-2 in games Mitre started which is incredible. He has allowed 38 hits, 4 of which have been homeruns. He has also allowed 6 walks and committed 3 errors in 23 innings. Robinson Cano has a 12 game hit streak in which he is 22 of 53. The Yankees bullpen has allowed 1 run in their last 16 innings. The Yankees are 4-1 against Seattle this season and 28-18 at Safeco Field lifetime. Damaso Mate's 30 game rehab assignment ended yesterday but he has been excused from the team for personal reasons and is still on the 60 day DL. I don't know why but it looks like the Yankees just don't want him on the team. I would like another lefty but they are doing well without him. A-rod said he felt good enough to play and he is in the lineup. Yankees Lineup: Jeter(SS) Swisher(RF) Tex(1B) A-rod(3B) Posada(DH) Cano(2B) Hairston(LF) Cabrera(CF) Molina(C)
