I don’t know how many people hung around to watch last night, but the Yankees grabbed a nice come from behind win over the Athletics and now have a chance to earn a split of this four-game series. All things considered, I’ll take it. Winning a four-game series is pretty tough — the Yankees did do it twice earlier this year — so getting a split is acceptable.
Adam Warren will be on the mound this afternoon looking to continue his recent run of success. His last three starts have been really good — combined 19.2 IP, 13 H, 7 R, 6 ER, 5 BB, 16 K — and he’s pitched into the seventh inning each time. Warren seems to be getting more comfortable as a big league starter each time out. Nice to see. Here is the A’s lineup and here is the Yanks’ lineup:
- LF Brett Gardner
- 3B Chase Headley
- DH Alex Rodriguez
- 1B Mark Teixeira
- RF Carlos Beltran
- LF Ramon Flores
- C John Ryan Murphy
- SS Didi Gregorius
- 2B Jose Pirela

It’s nice and sunny in the East Bay this afternoon. Today’s game will begin at 4:05pm and can be seen on YES. Enjoy.
Roster Move: Chris Martin (elbow) was activated off the 15-day DL and optioned to Triple-A Scranton, the Yankees announced. I’m moderately surprised because the Yankees clearly like Martin. Good example of a fringe roster guy losing his spot to injury. Sucks.
