The youth movement continues tonight. Rookie righty Luis Cessa is making his first big league start after a few up-and-down appearances as a reliever. I think Cessa is better equipped to start right now than Chad Green, who fanned eleven Blue Jays in six scoreless innings last time out. Cessa has four pitches (fastball, curveball, slider, changeup) and he’s super athletic (not surprising for an ex-shortstop) with a good delivery. I’m a fan. Looking forward to seeing how this goes. Here is the Angels’ lineup and here is the Yankees’ lineup:

  1. LF Brett Gardner
  2. CF Jacoby Ellsbury
  3. C Gary Sanchez
  4. SS Didi Gregorius
  5. 2B Starlin Castro
  6. DH Brian McCann
  7. RF Aaron Judge
  8. 1B Tyler Austin
  9. 3B Ronald Torreyes
    RHP Luis Cessa

Yet another great weather day in Southern California. Never would have guessed it. Tonight’s game will begin at 9:35pm ET and you can watch on WPIX locally and MLB Network nationally. Enjoy the game.
