I just happened to be thinking about the possibilities of Austin Jackson hitting his second HR of the season at Yankee Stadium.

 

Jeter is dropped to the two-spot in the lineup today. He originally left batting second for the leadoff spot partly due to his frequent grounding into double plays, but that same reason has sent him back to the two-hole. This time, though, it may be better for him batting second with Gardner a threat to steal when he's on base. Let this be a new start for the offense.
