Game Thread: New York Yankees @ Washington Nationals 5/19

The New York Yankees and the Washington Nationals start a mini two-game interleague play series tonight at RFK Stadium with the Yankees pitchers hitting for the first time in 2015. On the mound and in the batter’s box for the Yankees will be Nathan Eovaldi who will be facing off with Gio Gonzalez for the Nationals. The game will be played at 7:05 pm ET and can be seen on the YES Network and MLB TV.

The Yankees have two games in Washington followed by an off day and travel day before the team finally returns home to the Bronx to play host to the Texas Rangers inside Yankee Stadium.

I can’t tell if that’s Eovaldi with the bat in his hand or if that’s Jacoby Ellsbury stepping up to the plate but either way it is game time so I will let Nathan take it from here. Go Yankees!
