With Tex missing two games in a row with a sore wrist, and CC, ARod, and Andy all still on the DL the Yankees still managed a good homestand against the Rangers and Red Sox, which will conclude tomorrow night against Boston.
Swisher’s bat really came alive against Boston. Friday night he went 2 for 3 with two home runs one from each side of the plate, the 12th time in his career, he is now one behind Tex on the all time list. On Saturday he was 3 for 4. During this homestand Swisher has gone 10 for 24 with four home runs and 11 RBIs.
Derek Jeter had a historic weekend as well tying Graig Nettles at ninth place of all time Yankees. He also became the fourth player in major league history to hit 250 home runs, have 300 stolen bases, and 3000 hits. Another historic night for a true baseball gentleman!
The Yankees will complete their homestand tomorrow night against the Red Sox.
