NEW YORK -- Yankees designated hitter Matt Holliday was scratched from the starting lineup about 90 minutes before game time on Saturday with what the club termed "lower back stiffness."
In his first season with the Yankees after leaving St. Louis as a free agent, Holliday had started all 10 previous games, including Friday night's 4-3 win in the series opener, where he went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in his first game against his former teammates. That extended Holliday's hitless streak to 11 at-bats.
