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:
Derek Jeter SS
Beltran DH
Stephen Drew 2B
Hiroki Kuroda RHP
