RECORD DURING MONTH: 15-11

PLAYER OF THE MONTH: A.J. Burnett struggled through his first two months in pinstripes, but the right-hander put it together in June. He went 3-2 with a 2.10 ERA in his five starts, striking out 35 and walking 16.

PLAY OF THE MONTH: The Yankees were set to lose the first Subway Series game in the new Yankee Stadium on June 12 when Alex Rodriguez hit a pop-up to Luis Castillo with two outs and two on in the bottom of the ninth inning. But Castillo inexplicably dropped it, allowing Derek Jeter and Mark Teixeira to come around to score and give the Bombers an improbable 9-8 win.
