The 12th installment of the Subway Series gets underway on Friday, as the Yankees welcome the one that got away, pitcher Johan Santana, to the Bronx.

Ian Kennedy had a rough start in his return to the big leagues, allowing five runs in five innings. The Yankees lost, 5-2, to the Rays on Thursday at Tropicana Field, falling into last place in the American League East.
