It's too bad Hughes lost his HR streak last start, cause he's already got one today.

[AMS25]

Ah, the return of the Phil Hughes I know and love -- at least in the first inning.

[derekson]

Apparently the ball is really carrying well this afternoon.

Martin Prado nods his head as he rounds the bases.

As does Jason Heyward....

As does Davis Ross!

I picked a good game to sleep through half of.

What is Hughes' record for number of home runs allowed in a game?

Never mind; Eppley is in to pitch.

The makings of a rally here, perhaps?

Chavez crushed that home run, and then a nice at bat to work a walk for Martin. He's looked a lot better the last couple of games.

Edit: Or not.

And then Nix was robbed by Bourn.

I know Jeter homered today, but it's still pretty silly that he's DHing against a RHP with his .691 OPS against them. This would be a nice game to have Branyan on the team for.

[jon abbey]

So day games and this stadium and this weather leads to a LOT of home runs.

[jon abbey]

A LOT.

[jon abbey]

That's 4 for each team.

[AMS25]

Yep, lots of balls flying out of the park today! A-Rod and now Cano....

[derekson]

4 home runs for each team off of the opposing starter. Don't see that very often.

[jon abbey]

Venters has pitched in all six games against the Yankees.

[ThePrideofShiner]

Ibanez needs a day off.

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

Venters BABIP this year is .429. That's pretty incredible.

[jon abbey]

So far in this game for both teams combined: two singles, one double, eight home runs. Yankee Stadium, whoo!

[jon abbey]

Quite an outing for Rapada there, struck out all four guys he saw.

[terrynever]

Bleepin' A-Rod.

[ThePrideofShiner]

ARod needs a day off.

[Trlicek's Whip]

So far in this game for both teams combined: two singles, one double, eight home runs. Yankee Stadium, whoo!

And not just eight HR, but eight straight to account for nine straight runs. After Freddie Freeman hit his 2-run job, the next 7 hit were all solo shots. That's gotta be a record.

[terrynever]

Sadly, this team hits best when nobody's on base. A-Rod comes up with first-and-third and one out and you know the DP grounder is on the way. 32 stinking million for this?

[SemperFidelisSox]

This is the kind of game the 1990 Yankees lose.

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

Another.

[terrynever]

The 1991 team always fell short, too. Bleepin' Stump Merrill.

It's so hard to pick a favorite. I'm going with the trashy but proud Staten Island girlfriend.
