The banged-up New York Yankees are getting an unexpected but much-needed rest. New York's 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. Pittsburgh's Edinson Volquez (1-3) was scheduled to face New York's David Phelps (0-0) Friday night in the Pirates' first game at the newest version of Yankee Stadium, which opened in 2009. The rain gives Yankees outfielder Ichiro Suzuki an extra day of rest.
