The Yankees won last night! And they have a chance to win today! That is pretty cool, ain’t it? A win tonight will clinch a series victory over the Orioles too. The Yankees have played seven full series this season and they’ve won exactly two of them. They beat the Astros in the first series of the year and they beat the Rays a week and a half ago. That’s it.
Both Brett Gardner and Alex Rodriguez are currently sidelined with injuries, so the Yankees are short two of their better offensive players. It’s not what you want. The Yankees have been struggling to score runs as it is, even with last night’s seven-run outburst. Hopefully some of the others can pick up the slack. Here is the O’s lineup and here is the Yanks’ lineup:
- CF Jacoby Ellsbury
- 2B Starlin Castro
- C Brian McCann
- 1B Mark Teixeira
- DH Carlos Beltran
- RF Dustin Ackley
- LF Aaron Hicks
- SS Didi Gregorius
- 3B Ronald Torreyes
RHP Masahiro Tanaka
It is cloudy in Baltimore and there is rain in the forecast tonight, though not until later. It’s nothing that should interrupt the game. Tonight’s game will start a little after 7pm ET and you can watch on YES locally and MLB Network nationally. Enjoy the game.
Roster Move: In case you missed it earlier, outfielder Ben Gamel has been called up from Triple-A Scranton. The Yankees have since announced the move. Lefty James Pazos was sent down in a corresponding move. Brett Gardner (elbow) has not been placed on the DL and is day-to-day.
