After scoring 90 runs in their previous ten games, the Yankees were held to one stupid run by knuckleballer Steven Wright last night. Bah. Frustrating. But it happens. Can’t win ’em all.
The Yankees turn to CC Sabathia tonight for the series win, which is not exactly encouraging. He doesn’t belong in the rotation and yet here he is, starting every fifth day even though he is the team’s what, eighth best starter? Please, CC. Do a good tonight. Here is the Red Sox’s lineup and here is the Yankees’ lineup:
- CF Jacoby Ellsbury
- LF Brett Gardner
- DH Alex Rodriguez
- 1B Mark Teixeira
- RF Chris Young
- 3B Chase Headley
- C John Ryan Murphy
- SS Didi Gregorius
- 2B Brendan Ryan
LHP CC Sabathia
It’s on the cool side and a little cloudy in New York but there’s no rain in the forecast, so that’s good. This weather is borderline autumnal, I’d say. Maybe if it were a few degrees cooler. Anyway, tonight’s game is scheduled to begin at 7:05pm ET and can be seen on YES locally and MLB Network nationally. Enjoy the game.
Rotation Update: Luis Severino will make his next start next Tuesday against the Indians, Joe Girardi announced. Just in case you thought they were lying about him being in the rotation for good.
