NEW YORK (AP) - Johnny Damon hit the only home run in the first night game at the new Yankee Stadium and Andy Pettitte pitched New York to a 5-3 victory over the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday.
Brett Gardner came through with a sensational catch and a two-run single, helping the Yankees beat punchless Oakland in their latest home game with empty rows of premium seats wrapped around the infield.
The first four games at the $1.5 billion palace between New York and Cleveland featured a record 20 homers, leading some to start calling the place Coors Field East and criticize it for being a bandbox.
Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said the team probably will commission more tests to try to determine why balls have been flying out at such an incredible pace.
