Winning a four game series is never easy, just because taking three out of four games in this league is a tough thing to do, regardless of opponent. The Yankees already beat the Indians on Friday and Sunday, and held a commanding lead on Saturday before the bullpen let things get out of hand, so they’ve really been in control of this series. They’re sending Andy Pettitte and his 2.62 ERA to the mound against rookie Mitch Talbot, who’s been quite a surprise in Cleveland’s rotation.
The bullpen, however shaky, is rested following A.J. Burnett’s sterling effort. Here’s the starting nine…
Jeter, SS
Granderson, CF
Teixeira, 1B
A-Rod, 3B
Cano, 2B
Swisher, RF
Miranda, DH
Cervelli, C
Gardner, CF
And on the mound, Andrew Pettitte.
