On this day in Yankee history... 


2006: Derek Jeter collects his 2,000th career hit in a 7-6 loss to the Royals at the Stadium, becoming the eighth player in Yankees history to reach the milestone.

2010: The Yankees take two from the Twins at Target Field. First, in a resumption of yesterday's game which was suspended by rain with no score, they win 1-0 on a homer by Derek Jeter. They then win the regularly-scheduled game 3-2 on a long ball by Nick Swisher against Jon Rauch in the 9th that gives Andy Pettite the win. Mariano Rivera saves both wins.
