MLB denies Yankees' protest of game (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

Major League Baseball president Bob DuPuy has denied the formal protest filed by the New York Yankees after a disputed loss to the Florida Marlins. New York manager Joe Girardi protested Sunday's 6-5 defeat at Florida because of a Marlins substitution mix-up. In the top of the eighth inning, Chris Coghlan started in left after manager Fredi Gonzalez had removed him in a double switch.
