News & Notes

- The Yankees have listed Javier Vazquez as their starter for Thursday's game against the Twins, so it appears that his bruised finger is feeling better. Girardi said "He is scheduled to make the start," and that he expects him to start unless his finger "really feels bad".

- CC Sabathia has faced the Mets just two times, both in Queens, and is 2-0, with a 1.20 ERA. In 15 innings pitched, he's allowed 2 earned runs on 9 hits, walked 1, and struck out 11. Here are some of CC's 2010 stats: K/9: 6.41, BB/9: 2.83, HR/9: 1.19, GB rate: 51.7%, FIP: 4.46, xFIP: 4.03, BABIP: .239.

- Johan Santana is 4-2, with a 4.40 ERA in 11 games (8 starts) against the Yankees. As a Met, he's 1-2, with a 8.64 ERA in three starts against the Yanks. That includes one of his worst starts ever, which came on June 14th of last year. In three innings that day he allowed 9 runs on 9 hits.

- Coming into tonight, the Yankees are just 5-9 in their last 14 games.

- Over the first two games of this series the Yankees are 4-for-22 with RISP.

- The Yankees took five of six from the Mets last season, and are 1-1 this year.
