Game 153: Yankees (78-74) vs. Jays (77-75)

NEW YORK -- They remain five games back in the hunt for the second AL wild card and their number for October elimination is six with just 10 games to play, but the Yankees will try to keep hope alive in Friday's Game 2 of this four-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Carlos Beltran, who missed a couple of games after his wife, Jessica, suffered a miscarriage earlier in the week, is back in the lineup. And for those who are concerned about such things, Laz Diaz is tonight's home plate umpire.

Here's the Yankees lineup that will face LHP Mark Buehrle, who has not beaten the Yankees in more than 10 years:

Jacoby Ellsbury CF

Derek Jeter SS

Brian McCann C

Mark Teixeira 1B

Beltran DH

Brett Gardner LF

Stephen Drew 2B

Chase Headley 3B

Ichiro Suzuki RF

Hiroki Kuroda RHP
