June 27th

 On this day in Yankee history... 

1904: Patsy Dougherty, the Highlanders' recent acquisition from Boston, collects another three hits as his new club beat his old side and former teammate Jesse Tannehill 8-4. 

1978: Graig Nettles belts a two-run homer in the 14th to give the Yankees a 6-4 win over the Red Sox.  Dick Drago serves up Nettles' 13th homer of the year. Sparky Lyle (6-1) gets the win in relief of starter Ron Guidry (13-0), who gave up 8 hits in 6 innings.

2012: The Yankees lose two starting pitchers on the same day. First, they place CC Sabathia on the disabled list with a groin strain, then in their game against the Indians, Andy Pettitte is hit by a line drive off the bat of Casey Kotchman in the 5th inning, breaking an ankle. Small consolation, the Yanks win the game, 5-4.
