On this day in Yankee history...
1922: At Chicago‚ the Yankees use a courtesy runner against the White Sox. On a 2-out single to short‚ Wally Schang is injured in the 6th inning when he slides into first base‚ and is replaced by Al DeVormer. After the third out‚ Schang returns to catching. When Schang reaches base in the 8th‚ De Vormer again runs for him‚ this time staying in to catch.
1927: At the Stadium, the Yankees win for the third straight time over Chicago, 8-3. New York knock Ted Blankenship out of the box in the 7th and Ray Morehart hits reliever Bert Cole's first pitch for a 3-run homer. Babe Ruth follows with a triple and then steals home. The Yanks score 6 in the frame.

1933: In Philadelphia, Jimmie Foxx ties a major league record with another homer‚ his 5th in 3 games and his 12th of the year‚ but the A's bow to the Yankees 7-6. Lou Gehrig hits his 12th of the year and Tony Lazzeri hits a 3-run homer in the 8th to ice it. The sweltering heat in the east (NYC sets a heat record for the date with 97 degrees) causes both starters to end early; Jim Peterson leaves after walking the leadoff batter and after 5 innings Jumbo Brown collapses in the dugout and has to be carried away.

1959: At the Stadium, the Yankees edge the Kansas City A's 9-8 in 13 innings. Mickey Mantle homers in the 4th off Murry Dickson, but it is Hector Lopez's single that wins it in the 13th.

1961: In a rain-interrupted game in New York‚ Mickey Mantle's 3-run homer in the 3rd is the difference in an 8-6 win over the Kansas City A's. Roger Maris also homers‚ the third time this year the two have gone deep in the same game.

1973: At Kansas City‚ the Yankees rally for 5 runs in the 9th to stop the Royals 6-4. Newcomer Pat Dobson pitches 5 innings and allows one hit to win in relief. New York move into first place with the win.

2012: Phil Hughes betters Mets pitcher Dillon Gee by a 4-2 score. Derek Jeter passes Ted Williams on the all-time runs scored list when he crosses the plate with the game’s 1st run after advancing to second on a balk for his 1,800th career tally. A sixth-inning Mark Teixeira two-run homer makes the difference, and Curtis Granderson adds an insurance shot in the home eighth.
