The first two games of this three-game series have gone according to plan. The Yankees beat up on a bad Tigers team and they scored a bunch of runs early in both games. They didn’t give the Tigers any reason to play hard. Put the game to bed early and cruise the rest of the way. A repeat in the series finale this afternoon would be swell.
To do that, the Yankees will have to get to Michael Fulmer, who is a) really good, and b) kinda struggling lately. He did throw seven innings with one unearned run allowed against the Dodgers last time out, though he’s still allowed at least five runs in three of his last five starts. That includes seven runs in six innings against the Yankees a few weeks back. Do that again, pretty please? Here is the Tigers’ lineup and here is the Yankees’ lineup:
- LF Brett Gardner
- CF Aaron Hicks
- DH Gary Sanchez
- RF Aaron Judge
- SS Didi Gregorius
- 1B Chase Headley
- 3B Todd Frazier
- 2B Ronald Torreyes
- C Austin Romine
LHP Jaime Garcia
Cool and cloudy in Detroit today, so it’s not the most picturesque afternoon at Comerica Park. This afternoon’s game will begin at 1:10pm ET and you’ll be able to watch on YES locally and MLB Network nationally. Enjoy the game.
