Orioles @ Yankees 5/2/12

UPDATE:

Matt Weiters hits a solo home run off of Nova to make it 1-0 O's.

Eric Chavez hurt? Nunez comes in after Chavez is helped off the field. Eric Chavez has been diagnosed with whiplash and possibly a concussion.


The 0's lead 5-0 after 7 IP, putting Ivan Nova's 15 decision win streak in serious jeopardy. 


Freddy Garcia pitches a great 8th inning? Wow...

All I Do Is Win

Tonight the Yankees finish their series with the Baltimore Orioles at the stadium at 7:05 pm ET. The game will be televised on YES and ESPN and will showcase Ivan Nova for the Yanks, who has not lost a decision in the majors since he was 12 years old, facing the O's Jake Arrieta. The Yankees look for the series win and to gain another game on the Orioles who are ahead of them in the standings. Here is tonight's lineup.

1. Jeter SS
2. Granderson CF
3. A-Rod DH
4. Cano 2B
5. Tex 1B
6. Ibanez RF
7. Chavez 3B
8. Jones LF
9. Martin C


Joe Girardi said today their neither Nick Swisher or Brett Gardner are considered "ready" to re join the Yankees. Brett will be given a couple more days to rest his elbow and probably get in a minor league rehab game or two.
