The Yankees have been playing nothing but blowouts for about a week now. Six of their last eight games have been decided by at least six runs, including the last two. The Bombers were on the wrong end of the lopsided score last night. I guess they’re trying to avoid the regression of last year’s MLB-best one-run game record (30-16) by simply not playing any one-run games. Bold. I like it.
This afternoon’s pitching matchup (Vidal Nuno vs. Hector Santiago) suggests another big day for the offenses, but, knowing how these things usually go, it’ll probably be a pitcher’s duel. Baseball is weird. Either way, I would greatly appreciate a win in my first trip to Yankee Stadium this season. Here is the Angels lineup and here is the Yankees lineup:
- CF Jacoby Ellsbury
- SS Derek Jeter
- DH Carlos Beltran
- RF Alfonso Soriano
- 1B Mark Teixeira
- LF Brett Gardner
- 2B Brian Roberts
- 3B Kelly Johnson
- C John Ryan Murphy
LHP Vidal Nuno
It rained overnight in New York but it has cleared up now. It’s cloudy and cool now and more rain is expected this evening, but nothing that should impact the game unless they go to extra innings. This afternoon’s game is scheduled to begin at 1:05pm ET and you can only watch on FOX Sports 1. Click here to figure which channel that is in your area. Enjoy the game.
