YANKEES 2
WHITE SOX 6

Tuesday night at the Stadium, the Yankees fell to the Chicago White Sox, 6-2. Andy Pettitte continued to struggle, as he fell to 13-14 on the disappointing season. On a good note, Derek Jeter passed Lou Gherig on the all time list for most hits at Yankee Stadium, with 1,270.

Andy Petttitte worked six innings and allowed four runs on six hits. Pettitte walked three — one intentionally — and struck out four as he left trailing. In the seventh, Jose Veras allowed back-to-back two-out doubles to Brian Anderson and Jermaine Dye to bring around Chicago’s fifth run, and Dan Giese allowed another run in the eighth.

Brett Gardner singled to open the third, stole second and scored when Johnny Damon’s double fell into right-center field, and Jason Giambi cracked his 31st home run to lead off the fourth. The Yankees would then strand the bases loaded in the fifth inning, and once again fail to score runs.

GAME NOTES:
PETTITTE: 6IP, 6H, 4ER, 3BB, 4SO
JETER: 2-3
DAMON: 3-5, RBI
GIAMBI: 1-3, HR, RBI
