PREGAME NOTES:

Hard to believe, but the Yanks are just 19-24 since July 27 - two days after the acquisition of Xavier Nady and Damaso Marte.

The Yanks do lead the season series 9-6 against the Rays.

James Shields is a lifetime 0-6, 6.86 ERA, 1.60 WHIP in 7 starts against the Yanks. He is 0-2, 2.92 ERA, 1.38 WHIP in 2 starts against them in 2008.

Mike Mussina is a lfetime 19-7, 3.36 ERA, 1.23 WHIP in 32 starts against the Rays. he is a sparkling 3-0, 1.96 ERA, 1.09 WHIP in 3 starts against them in 2008.

Rays' hitters vs. Moose can be viewed here. Yanks' hitters vs. Shields can be viewed here.

HUGHES, ROBERTSON HEADED TO BRONX: Chad Jennings reports that both Phil Hughes and David Robertson have been summoned to the Bronx after last night's 20-2 steamrolling over the Durham Bulls (Tampa Bay) to win the first Governors' Cup Crown in team history.

A-ROD SCRATCHED: Alex Rodriguez was a late scratch due to a "stiff neck."
