The home run, his 26th, was Swisher’s second of the game. This was strange because he had only hit three previous home runs at Yankee Stadium this season. He also homered from both sides of the plate.
Chad Gaudin allowed one earned runs and six hits over 6+ innings, striking out six. Phil Hughes actually faltered in his inning of work, allowing a game-tying home run to Jason Bartlett in the eighth. It was his first blown save of the season and it was the first earned run he allowed in a game since Aug. 4.
The Yankees will go for the four-game sweep of the Rays tomorrow night with Joba Chamberlain on the mound.

Nick Swisher has always had a low avg. .280 would be great but I think .260 is what we are going to get. It's a good thing he walks. He should have more HR now on the southside.
Force Factor
This is a good decision by Nick Swisher because his average is very low. he gave space for the new upcoming and emerging players to win the race
