NEW YORK -- The banged-up New York Yankees are getting an unexpected but much-needed rest. New Yorks game against the Pittsburgh Pirates that was scheduled for 7:05 p.m. Friday was postponed six hours before game time due a forecast of inclement weather throughout the night. The game will be made up as part of a single-admission doubleheader Sunday with the opener starting at 1:05 p.m. Only tickets for Sundays game will be honoured. Its the first one-ticket doubleheader hosted by the Yankees since Sept. 29, 2004, against Minnesota, according to STATS. Pittsburghs Edinson Volquez (1-3) was scheduled to face New Yorks David Phelps (0-0) Friday night in the Pirates first game at the newest version of Yankee Stadium, which opened in 2009. Phelps will now start Saturday and Hiroki Kuroda will be given an extra day of rest. He and Vidal Nuno will start in the doubleheader, the order still to be determined. This is the third postponement for each team this season. The rain gives Yankees outfielder Ichiro Suzuki an extra day of rest. He has not played since Sunday, when he hurt his back attempting a catch in Milwaukee. Once healthy, Suzuki should see more playing time because Carlos Beltran was placed on the 15-day disabled list Thursday with a bone spur in his right elbow. "Im getting better but not to the point where Im capable of swinging the bat 100 per cent," Beltran said Thursday. The Yankees (21-19) are coming off back-to-back shutouts of the crosstown rival Mets with Masahiro Tanaka winning 4-0 Wednesday, his first complete game in the major leagues. A night later, rookie Chase Whitley pitched two-hit ball for 4 2-3 innings of a 1-0 win that gave the New York a split of the four-game Subway Series. Whitley made his major league debut in place of ace CC Sabathia, who is on the 15-day disabled list with a right knee injury. Phelps was scheduled to make his third start since replacing Michael Pineda in the rotation. Phelps first joined the rotation when Pineda was suspended 10 days for having pine tar on his neck in a game at Boston. The right-hander remained in the starting five when Pineda injured a muscle in his upper back pitching a simulated game April 29, during his ban. Phelps gave up four runs and eight hits over five-plus innings Sunday, when the Yankees lost 6-5 in the bottom of the ninth at Milwaukee. The Pirates (17-23) come to New York after a 4-3, walkoff loss Thursday, also at the Brewers. Former Yankees reliever Mark Melancon blew the save filling in for injured closer Jason Grilli. The Pirates have not won in New York since the start of interleague play, losing three in a row in 2005 and 07. They took one of three in Pittsburgh in 2008. Pirates catchers Chris Stewart and Russell Martin both played for the Yankees, and theyve seen how the new ballpark can be hitter friendly for batters swinging from the left side. "Every stadium kind of has their pros and cons, and thats definitely one of them for left-handers, and some right-handers like to go the other way," Stewart told MLB.com. "Ive seen popups over there that have sailed out." That could bode well for slugging third baseman Pedro Alvarez, who grew up in the Bronx and has eight homers. The ballpark also suits Ike Davis well. The first baseman will be returning to the city where he played his entire career for the Mets in Queens until being traded to Pittsburgh on April 18.

Lorenzo Cain Jersey .com) - James Harden put the Houston Rockets on his back and willed them to an overtime victory on Thursday.World No 3 Jordan Spieth blamed his short game and wedge play for a disappointing 72 after squandering a flying start to the third round of The Open. The two-time major winner carded birdies on the first, third, sixth and seventh at Royal Troon to get back to level par for the tournament after making the cut on the mark of four over par on Friday.But Spieth then bogeyed the ninth and 10th and ran up a double bogey on the 11th on his way to a one-over round and five-over-par for the tournament. Leaderboard The 145th Open With winds forecast to gust up to 30mph, tournament organisers had opted not to cut or roll the greens and moved tees forward on the eighth, 11th, 16th and 17th.I was disappointed that the tees were up on 16 and 17, Spieth said. I dont think that did anything to it. Not disappointed, I think it was unnecessary.But the one on eight is pretty cool so its under 100 yards now and youre trying to figure out what club to hit and how to hit it, where to hit it, almost where to lay up. For how strong the wind was when we were on the tee, I thought that was a great set-up. Jordan Spieths last 10 Major rounds: 0 under par rounds 18 over par And although Spieth felt he has been striking the ball well, he also felt that he was let down by other areas of his game.Im hitting the ball great, he said. Very pleased with that. I hit it well enough to shoot four or five-under easy today. On the front nine if I putt the way I should putt, my short game and wedge play has really let me down, too.But that really easily could have shot seven-under on that front nine.

No contract Spieth, who missed out on the play-off at St Andrews last year by a single shot, admits that he is frustrated with his golf but insists he is getting close to his best.For me, I set the expectations high for myself, but I feel like Ive been getting a little more frustrated off the golf course than normal.dddddddddddd My game feels like its rounding into shape though, said the 22-year-old. Spieth said his ball striking has really let him down this year My ball striking has really let me down this year, and Ive been actually striking the ball better and better coming from the first round of Akron [WGC-Bridgestone Invitational] to the final round, and then this week I felt like Ive hit the ball really, really well.And as good as my putting has been this year, which is pretty much the same standard as last year, it just wasnt there this week. If its there this week and Im on the right end of the draw, Im hitting it well enough to be at or really near the lead.So although Im so far behind, its very close, and I feel confident about getting back to kind of the basics at home and getting ready for PGA. Danny Willett has endured a frustrating week Masters champion Danny Willett endured a frustrating time of his own on the difficult links course, posting a round of 74 to leave him seven-over for the tournament.Although the Yorkshireman refused to blame a sickness bug which hampered his progress this week, he admits it has taken its toll.Its just been a frustrating week, he said. Like I said, its been grand start to finish. Had a reasonable week last week practising and obviously felt sick a few days and not been able to do anything.
