On this day in Yankee history...
1931: Babe Ruth hits his 600th career home run in an 11-7 win over the Browns at St. Louis.

1991: Bernie Williams strikes out five consecutive times in a 7-4 loss to the Royals to tie the major league mark for a 9-inning game. He's consoled by Yankee hitting coach Frank Howard, one of the 28 batters who share the mark.

2009: Hideki Matsui hits a pair of three-run homers and drives in 7 as the Yankees thrash the Red Sox 20-11 at Fenway Park. The only highlight for the Sox comes when Jacoby Ellsbury steals his 54th base of the season in the 1st, breaking the franchise record held by Tommy Harper.

2011: With Alex Rodriguez back in the line-up for the first time since July 7th, the Yankees shut out the Twins 3-0. Curtis Granderson, who has had no problem hitting the ball out of the park all year, keeps his 7th-inning hit within the confines, but races around the bases for an inside the park home that doubles the Yankees' lead. Mark Teixeira follows with a more conventional round-tripper, and Ivan Nova improves to 13-4 on the year. A-Rod and Jim Thome become the first members of the 600 home run club to appear in the same game since Willie Mays and Hank Aaron in 1973.
