NEW YORK -- Country Breakfast was too much for Brian McCann.

Billy Butler barely edged McCann in a foot race in right field at Yankee Stadium on Sunday morning.

The Yankees were neck and neck through most of the 60-yard dash before Butler turned it up at the end.

Butler raised his right arm and shouted when it was over. The rest of the Yankees, who crowded near the finish line, also erupted.

That brings McCann's race record to 0-2. He also fell to Mark Teixeira in 2014.

Butler's victory came after it looked like McCann would win.

In their first try, the patch of grass beneath Butler's foot gave out, sending him stumbling. McCann took off, smoking him with ease. But the race was restarted soon after.

First base Tony Pena served as the starter.

McCann (24) and Butler (5) have 29 career steals between them.
