The last turn through the rotation has gone really well for the Yankees. Michael Pineda labored a bit on Sunday, sure, but otherwise Masahiro Tanaka, CC Sabathia, and Nathan Eovaldi all chucked at least seven innings with no more than two runs allowed. Sabathia and Eovaldi did it against a tough Tigers lineup too.
Tonight will be Adam Warren’s turn to have a strong start against that same Detroit lineup. Warren’s first start was pretty good (two runs in 5.1 innings) but his second start was a mess (four runs in four innings), which I guess isn’t surprising for a guy who is a full-time MLB starter for the first time. A win tonight would clinch at least a series tie against arguably the best team in baseball and push the Yankees over .500 for the first time in 2015. Here is the Tigers’ lineup and here is the Yankees’ lineup:
- CF Jacoby Ellsbury
- LF Chris Young
- DH Alex Rodriguez
- 1B Mark Teixeira
- C Brian McCann
- RF Carlos Beltran
- 3B Chase Headley
- 2B Gregorio Petit
- SS Didi Gregorius

Once again, it’ll be a cold and rainy night at Comerica Park. There are some light showers and flurries (!) in the forecast later tonight but it shouldn’t be anything that will cause a delay or a postponement. They played through some heavy rain for an inning or two last night, remember. First pitch is scheduled for 7:08pm ET and you can watch on YES. Enjoy the game.
Roster Move: Welcome back, Matt Tracy. The Yankees claimed Tracy off waivers from the Marlins and optioned him to Triple-A Scranton, the team announced. Miami designated Tracy for assignment yesterday to clear a 40-man roster spot for another call-up after claiming him off waivers from New York over the weekend. The 40-man roster is now full.
