Good morning everyone. If it seems like we just did one of
these for these two teams there’s probably a good reason for it. You have to
love the day game after a night game, especially in September, but it what it
is so let’s get to it. In the third game of this big four-game set the Yankees
will be out for blood as they send Masahiro Tanaka to the mound to square off
with Drew Pomeranz for the Red Sox. Yankees and Red Sox games are always
interesting but when there is something to play for like these two teams have
this season the intensity level intensifies by a million. Enjoy the game!
Tanaka has made two starts since coming off the disabled
list with an inflamed shoulder and if the right-hander pitches the way he has
in those two starts for the remainder of the season the Yankees will be just
fine heading into the postseason. In Tanaka’s last start the Japanese-born
righty struck out 10 Seattle Mariners in a victory on Sunday. Tanaka has not
been as successful against Boston though this season posting a 1-2 record with
a 3.32 ERA against New York’s biggest rivals.
Pomeranz has been quite the story for the Red Sox in 2017
after barely making the team out of spring training camp. In his last 14 starts
Pomeranz has posted an 8-0 record with a 2.31 ERA helping the Red Sox not only
pull away but begin to run away with the American League East Division title.
The game will be played at 1:05 pm ET inside Yankee Stadium
and can be seen on the YES Network, MLB Network, NESN and MLB TV. You can also
follow along in your cars and on the radio by tuning into the WFAN broadcast
with John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman. Say what you will about these two, and I
know I have said this a bunch this season, but there is no more beautiful call
than a Yankee like Greg Bird, who hit a monster home run on Friday, or Gary
Sanchez hitting a home run and hearing Michael Kay and John Sterling call it.
Nothing. Better. Need a win, get a win. Go Yankees!
