On this day in Yankee history...
1977: Reggie Jackson and Billy Martin become involved in a dugout confrontation at Fenway Park that is seen on national television. After Martin removes his right fielder for loafing on a ball hit to the outfield, Jackson questions his manager in the dugout. The two are eventually separated by coach Elston Howard.
2009: The new Yankee Stadium has its first homerless game since th venue opened in April. The Washington Nationals benefit from the power outage, registering a 3-0 win.

2011: A violent collision at home plate between Carlos Pena of the Cubs and Yankee catcher Russell Martin is the highlight of the Yanks' 4-3 win. With New York up 3-2 in the 6th inning, Geovany Soto hits a bases-loaded line drive to left which Brett Gardner catches as he is charging; he fires a one-hop strike to Martin, which arrives just before Pena crashes into him, sending his helmet flying and the catcher rolling on the ground. But Martin holds on for an inning-ending double play. A.J. Burnett is the winner over Ryan Dempster, with Mariano Rivera picking up the save.
