Thank goodness, Masahiro Tanaka is pitching today. Maybe the Yankees should forfeit the DH and let him bat too. Then again, Kevin Correia is starting for the Twins and he has a 6.34 ERA this season, which is the very worst among qualified starters in baseball. This is one of those no excuse games. If the Yankees can’t win this afternoon, something will have gone horribly wrong. Here is the Twins lineup and here is the Yankees lineup:
- LF Brett Gardner
- DH Derek Jeter
- CF Jacoby Ellsbury
- 1B Mark Teixeira
- C Brian McCann
- RF Alfonso Soriano
- 2B Yangervis Solarte
- 3B Kelly Johnson
- SS Brendan Ryan
RHP Masahiro Tanaka
It’s cool with some clouds in New York, and there is a tiny little bit of rain in the forecast. Less than we got last night, so they shouldn’t have any problems getting this afternoon’s game in. First pitch is scheduled for a little after 1pm ET and you can watch on YES locally and MLB Network nationally. Enjoy.
