New York Yankees' Alex Rodriguez(notes) sits on the bench and watches the game in the bottom of the fifth inning of a baseball game against the Florida Marlins Friday, June 19, 2009 in Miami.<br /><br />Following a tumultuous month at the plate, the slumping third baseman was benched Friday for two games by the Yankees for what he and the team called "fatigue."

Andy Pettitte and two relievers combined on a three-hitter as the New York Yankees beat the Florida Marlins 5-1 on Friday night without a slumping Alex Rodriguez.

With Rodriguez benched for the first time this season with what he and the team called "fatigue," the Yankees regrouped after two losses at home to the woeful Washington Nationals.
