Mitch Moreland is back in the lineup today against left-hander CC Sabathia. Manager Ron Washington said the first baseman is starting over Jorge Cantu today because he's been playing more and seeing pitches. Moreland is hitting .364 in the series, while Cantu started the opener and went 0 for 3.
The Yankees also had to tweak things because of the Mark Teixeira injury. Lance Berkman will start at first.
