PREGAME NOTES:
Derek Jeter's next base hit on this homestand will make him the all-time leader in Yankee Stadium history.
Mark Buehrle is a lifetime 1-5, 6.58 ERA, 1.66 WHIP in 7 starts against the Yanks. He is 0-3, 16.36 ERA, 2.90 WHIP over his last 3 starts against them since 2004.
Afredo Aceves has obviously never faced the White Sox or any of their hitters.
Yanks' hitters vs. Buehrle can be viewed here.
CANO BENCHED: It's been a long time coming, but Robinson Cano has officially been benched for tonight's game for his lack of hustle displayed yesterday.
One can only speculate if Girardi had done this earlier in the season if it would have made any difference with Cano's horrific season.
