Game 58: Just Win (Again)

Last night’s win over the Indians felt like a million bucks, but now the Yankees have to do it again. One win does not halt a skid as we learned with last Friday’s victory over the Red Sox. The Bombers need to string a few more of these things together and get on a little bit of a roll as the weather warms up. Here’s the lineup that will face left-hander Scott Kazmir…

1. CF Ichiro Suzuki
2. SS Jayson Nix
3. 1B Mark Teixeira
4. DH Robinson Cano
5. LF Vernon Wells
6. 3B Kevin Youkilis
7. 2B David Adams
8. RF Lyle Overbay
9. C Chris Stewart

And on the mound is the former Hazelwood West High School Wildcat, right-hander David Phelps. He’s coming off that disastrous five-run, one-out start against the Mets.

The weather is lovely in New York, so there won’t be any trouble getting in a full nine innings tonight. First pitch is scheduled for 7:05pm ET and can be seen on YES locally and MLB Network nationally. Enjoy.

Injury Update: Eduardo Nunez (setback) tried to swing a bat today and suffered another setback. He’s headed for various tests and won’t be back anytime soon.
