Head to head: This is the fifth of six series this year. The Yankees lead the season series, 8-4.

Miscellany: The Yankees have not been out of first place in the American League East since June 10 . . . Derek Jeter, who is among the AL leaders with a .324 average, needs five hits to pass Willie Mays (3,283) for 11th on the all-time list . . . Alex Rodriguez has hit in 13 straight games, though the streak dates to July because of a stay on the disabled list.
