Lineups set as New York Yankees begin abbreviated series against Oakland Athletics

by Star-Ledger


Andy Pettitte faces Dana Eveland as the Yankees and Athletics begin a short series Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium. The series is off to a belated start thanks to the rainstorms that soaked much of the Northeast on Monday, causing the postponement of the scheduled series opener, which will be made up in July.

Besides welcoming a fresh opponent into the new Yankee Stadium, the Yankees will be opposing a familiar face. Jason Giambi, back with Oakland after seven seasons as a Yankee, returns to the Bronx hitting third and playing first base for the A's. He will face off against fellow lefty and former teammate Pettitte, who is 1-0 with a 2.51 ERA in two starts. Eveland, also a left hander, is 0-0 with a 6.75 ERA in two starts.

Here are the lineups:

1) Jeter SS
2) Damon LF
3) Teixeira 1B
4) Posada C
5) Cano 2B

7) Matsui DH
