When this ten-game stretch against the Orioles and Rays started last weekend, the Yankees were three games up on Baltimore and four up on Tampa. Following three wins in nine games, they’re now tied with the O’s and just two ahead of the Rays. They’ve struggled offensively, the starting pitchers are seemingly unable to protect a lead, and the bullpen can’t go a game without allowing the opponent to tack on runs. A win today moves the Yankees back into first by one game, but something tells me it won’t be easy. Here’s the starting lineup…
DH Derek Jeter
RF Nick Swisher
3B Alex Rodriguez
2B Robinson Cano
C Russell Martin
1B Steve Pearce
LF Andruw Jones
SS Jayson Nix
CF Ichiro Suzuki
RHP Freddy Garcia
Today’s game starts a little after 1:30pm ET and can be seen on YES locally and TBS nationally. Enjoy.
