So here we are. The Yankees have already lost this three-game series to the Blue Jays — they’re 0-3 in series against the Jays this season — and tonight they’re trying to avoid being swept for the third time this season. That’s surprising, isn’t it? Seems like more. They were swept by the A’s at home and the Red Sox at Fenway Park.
Anyway, the Yankees have their best pitcher on the mound this evening, so that’s good. Will the Yankees actually score runs for him? Probably not but you never know. They’re hitting .169/.238/.286 as a team in the last six games. Bad. Bad bad bad. No offense is the worst offense. Here is the Blue Jays’ lineup and here is the Yankees’ lineup:
- CF Jacoby Ellsbury
- LF Brett Gardner
- RF Carlos Beltran
- C Brian McCann
- 1B Mark Teixeira
- DH Alex Rodriguez
- SS Didi Gregorius
- 3B Chase Headley
- 2B Ronald Torreyes
RHP Masahiro Tanaka
It has been cold and windy in Toronto today, so I imagine the Rogers Centre roof will be closed. The series finale will begin at 7:07pm ET and you can watch on YES. Enjoy the game.
Notes: Rob Refsnyder took ground ball at first base this afternoon, so that’s a thing that’s happening. There’s no reason not to try at this point. Dustin Ackley isn’t coming back and it’s a possible way to make Refsnyder more useful.
