"During his first seven weeks in pinstripes, it looked as if Andruw Jones' stay with the Yankees would be a brief one.

After two monster games in five days, Jones may be cementing his status as a must-start against lefthanders.

Jones delivered a key three-run double in the third inning of Sunday's 7-1 win over the Mariners, part of a five-run frame that broke the game open against starter Jason Vargas.

Jones hit .191 with two homers and three RBI in his first 19 games this season, striking out 17 times in 47 at-bats while drawing only three walks."
