August 25, 2011. After an 89 minute rain delay, the Yankees finally took the field at the stadium to take on the Oakland A’s. Phil Hughes was on the mound with Rich Harden going for the A’s. The lineup for the Bombers was:
Jeter DH
Granderson CF
Teixeira 1B

The way the game started is nowhere near how it ended. Hughes was pulled after 2.2 innings in which he gave up six runs on seven hits.
