Tonight the New York Yankees begin a quick two game series
with the Washington Nationals at home inside Yankee Stadium. This marks the
second time these two teams have faced off head-to-head with Washington
sweeping the first two game set that happened inside Nationals Park last month.
Tonight we should all be entertained with an intense pitching matchup as the
Yankees send Masahiro Tanaka to the mound to face off against the Nationals
newest toy Max Scherzer. The game will be played at 7:05 pm ET and can be seen
on the YES Network and MLB TV.
- Tanaka is coming off his first start off the disabled list where he held the Seattle Mariners to just one run in seven innings of work. In his career, albeit in just four starts, Tanaka has dominated the National League as he comes into the start with a 1.53 ERA in his career in Interleague Play.
- Scherzer is coming off his fourth loss of the season, this time to the American League East’s own Toronto Blue Jays. Scherzer allowed four runs on six hits, two of them the home run variety, while walking two batters in just six innings of work in the loss.
The Yankees have one more game with Washington tomorrow
before another off day on Thursday and a big series with the Baltimore Orioles
on Friday night inside Camden Yards. The Yankees are on a roll heading into the
series after winning six straight game with two consecutive sweeps over the
Seattle Mariners and the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Will the Yankees make
it seven in a row? They sure will if Tanaka has anything to say about it. Go
Yankees!
