The Yankees have won each of their last four games — against bad teams, sure, but wins are wins — and tonight they’ll try to clinch their first five-game winning streak since a five-gamer spanning the end of May and the start of June. A win tonight and they’ll be a season-high-tying 31 games over .500.
Despite being shorthanded due to injury, the Yankees have scored at least seven runs in three of their last four games, and they’re averaging 5.05 runs per game since the All-Star break. Only four times in their last 14 games have they failed to score at least five runs, and in two of the four, they scored four runs. Could be worse. Here are the lineups:
New York Yankees
1. CF Aaron Hicks
2. DH Giancarlo Stanton
3. 2B Gleyber Torres
4. SS Didi Gregorius
5. 3B Miguel Andujar
6. 1B Luke Voit
7. LF Brett Gardner
8. C Austin Romine
9. RF Shane Robinson
RHP Masahiro Tanaka
Texas Rangers
1. RF Shin-Soo Choo
2. 2B Rougned Odor
3. SS Elvis Andrus
4. 3B Adrian Beltre
5. DH Jurickson Profar
6. 1B Ronald Guzman
7. LF Willie Calhoun
8. C Isiah Kiner-Falefa
9. CF Drew Robinson
LHP Mike Minor
It is cloudy and humid in New York this evening, and there is rain in the forecast later tonight. Shouldn’t be anything that interferes with the game as long as they don’t play extra innings. Tonight’s game will begin at 7:05pm ET and YES will have the broadcast. Enjoy the game.
