According to Elias, Jones is the only player in franchise history, including the St. Louis Browns, to start consecutive seasons with hitting streaks of nine or more games.

The Yankees have adjusted their rotation for this series, with Phil Hughes starting Saturday and Hiroki Kuroda being pushed back to Sunday, according to @YankeesWFAN.

Update: Andy Pettitte has been scratched because of back spasms.
