Brett Gardner makes his major league debut tonight and he's right in the lineup, in the lead off spot. Johnny Damon gets a night off as Gardner mans left field with Mike Mussina on the mound.
Here's tonight's lineup courtesy of Peter Abraham:
Gardner LF
Jeter SS
Abreu RF
Rodriguez 3B
Giambi 1B
Posada DH
Cano 2B
Cabrera CF
Molina C
Mike Mussina (10-5, 3.93) has faced only a handful of the current Rangers, most notably, Michael Young (-35, .257 3 RBI) and Frank Catalonotto (26-59, .441 2 HR 10 RBI). Moose is 17-12, 3.76 in 35 career starts against the Rangers.
The Rangers have the major leagues leading RBI man in Josh Hamilton, who has been bothered by some nagging injuries lately. It's overshadowed the all-star type season from pending free agent Milton Bradley, who's hitting .323-16-49 with a 1.056 OPS.
Scott Feldman (1-3, 4.60) has faced just four Yankees, none for more than 1 at-bat. He's pitched just one-third of an inning and has allowed 3 runs.
