Yankees Game Preview vs. Cincinnati Reds 7/19

The New York Yankees and the Cincinnati Reds will play in the middle game of this three game set being played at Yankee Stadium this weekend. The Yankees will send Brandon McCarthy to the mound to face off with the Reds All Star Alfredo Simon. The game will be played at 1:05 pm ET and can be seen on the YES Network, MLB Network, MLB TV, and can be heard on the radio with John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman on WFAN.

McCarthy makes his second start as a member of the New York Yankees after keeping the Yankees in the game in his first start before the All Star break. McCarthy only allowed one earned run in 6.2 innings although the Indians did score three more unearned runs due to the defense. McCarthy will be making his Yankee Stadium debut tonight for New York.

Simon is fresh off throwing an inning in the All Star Game earlier this week and will pitch against the Yankees tonight. Simon's last start was against the Chicago Cubs where he allowed one run on four hits in 6.2 innings. Simon has pitched quite well in June and July although his FIP and other peripherals tell a different story.
