ALEX RODRIGUEZ COMING BACK TO THE YANKEES

Alex Rodriguez is back in the New York Yankees ' lineup tonight, not a moment too soon for the drowning Bombers (20-24).
The Yankees went 6-11 in his absence, fell to last place in the AL East and were embarrassed at home by getting swept by the New York Mets in the two-game Subway Series this past weekend.
Rodriguez's first challenge will come against Daniel Cabrera and the Orioles (23-20)The Orioles, at three games over .500, have been one of the pleasant surprises in baseball. They were the team expected be in the cellar of the AL East.
You can't hang your hat on one player, Joe Girardi said of Rodriguez. "It's going to take 25, and for us, it's taken about 32 or 33 so far. It's going to continue to take that. Obviously, we're getting a great player back, but he can't do it alone. Everyone has to contribute.Like Damon, Derek Jeter knows Rodriguez's return won't heal all that ails the Yankees. The entire team has struggled with the bat, not just the third basemen's spot in the order since Rodriguez's strained right quad forced him to the DL April 30.

METS VS YANKEES

The Mets' new ace looks to improve on his strong numbers against the Yankees when he takes the mound Friday to open the three-game Subway Series at Yankee Stadium.
The Mets (20-19) acquired Santana from Minnesota for four prospects in February and signed him to a six-year, $137.5 million contract, hoping he would become the anchor of their rotation. So far, the left-hander hasn't disappointed, going 4-2 with a 3.10 ERA in eight starts.
The Yankees (20-22) were on the verge of acquiring Santana but pulled out of talks in December, opting to hang on to the young players that would have gone to the Twins. Now, they'll have to contend with the two-time Cy Young Award winner as a member of their crosstown rivals.
"You face a lot of good pitchers all year long," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "He's one of the best in baseball. That doesn't mean that you can't score runs. You've got to take advantage of your opportunities."
Santana is 16-4 with a 2.27 ERA in 35 interleague appearances, including 24 starts. That ERA is the lowest among pitchers who have thrown at least 100 innings in interleague play.
Santana has also fared well against the Yankees, going 3-0 with a 2.66 ERA in eight appearances, including five starts and his best ERA against any AL team. He's 2-0 with a 1.17 ERA in four outings at Yankee Stadium.
