Brett Gardner was the hero on Sunday as he blasted a walk-off homer as the Yankees topped the Tigers.
Yankees closing pitcher Mariano Rivera has condemned the defilement of a Jackie Robinson statue outside MCU Park at Coney Island.
A-Rod connected on Justin Verlander's second pitch of the second inning Sunday for his 648th career homer.
Don Hooton said Rodriguez had done an outstanding job for the foundation but all the good work has been wiped out by the suspension.
The Yankees have recalled Dellin Betances from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and optioned David Adams to Triple-A.
Miguel Cabrera homered and had three hits, Torii Hunter drove in four runs, leading the Tigers to a 9-3 victory over the Yankees on Saturday.
Alex Rodriguez is not in the New York Yankees' lineup a day after striking out three times in his Bronx debut this season.
Alex Rodriguez drew loud boos in his return home and the Yankees overcame Miguel Cabrera's crushing home run off Mariano Rivera, beating Detroit 4-3 in 10 innings Friday night.
A near capacity crowd blasted the troubled Bronx Bomber with boos, but those boos were soon muffled by cheers from fans who rose to their feet as Rodriguez stepped up to the plate, CBS 2's Hazel Sanchez reported.
It's more than acceptable to dislike Rodriguez, but acting as if his punishment and process should be different than that of any other player because of his paycheck, accolades or insecure personality is ridiculous.
"In a pennant race, he's a guy that you don't want in the lineup," Longoria said. "So looking at it from that perspective and that perspective only, I don't think it's fair that we can't have an arbitrator hear the case sooner."
"(It's) horrible," Cuban said. "I think it's disgraceful what Major League Baseball is trying to do to him. Look, it's not that he doesn't deserve to be suspended. He does ... (211 games), that's personal."
Alex Rodriguez is "super excited" for Friday night, though he has to be aware of the reception that likely -- OK, definitely -- awaits in the Bronx.
"I don't think he needs to," Vernon Wells said. "Everyone knows what the situation is. Everyone is fully aware of everything that's going on. It's not a distraction in our eyes; it's something he has to deal with."
The Yankees have had some tough losses, but Wednesday night in Chicago was as bad as it gets.
