Tonight’s game marks the end of the first third of the season for the Yankees. They’ve been playing no good, very bad baseball for a little more than a week now, but I think the overall season results have been positive to date. The scrap heap pickups overachieved in a big way early on, allowing the team to stay afloat while half the roster sat on the DL. Thankfully, both Mark Teixeira (wrist) and Kevin Youkilis (back) are both in the lineup tonight. Not a series too late either, the Yankees are scheduled to see two lefties this weekend and they need the righty thump. Here’s the lineup that will face left-hander Jon Lester…
- CF Brett Gardner
- DH Kevin Youkilis
- 2B Robinson Cano
- 1B Mark Teixeira
- LF Vernon Wells
- SS Jayson Nix
- 3B David Adams
- RF Ichiro Suzuki
- C Chris Stewart
And on the mound is Baseball America’s 2008 Player of the Year, lefty CC Sabathia.
It’s another hot one in New York, meaning another good weather night for baseball. Tonight’s game is scheduled to begin at 7:05pm ET and can be seen on YES locally and MLB Network nationally. Try to enjoy.
