Welcome to Cleveland Yankees fans where some of the hottest
and best baseball in all of the American League is currently being played. Just
in time for the New York Yankees to arrive, how convenient. Where is Nick
Swisher when you need him? On a serious note though the Yankees do square off
head-to-head with the Indians tonight in the last series before the All-Star
Game and the All-Star break. For the Yankees the team will send Ivan Nova to
the mound to face off with Trevor Bauer for the Indians.
Nova has struggled lately but he did show signs of snapping
out of it last time out against the San Diego Padres. Nova allowed just four
hits in 5.1 innings while striking out seven while giving up just one run. Over
Nova’s previous seven starts he had posted a 6.92 ERA so this start was a sight
for sore eyes.
Bauer last pitched out of the bullpen for Cleveland in the
19-inning marathon with the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday. In the appearance
Bauer threw five shutout innings and heads into the month of July after
throwing a 3-0 record with a 2.01 ERA up in the month of June.
The game will be played at 7:10 pm ET inside Progressive
Field (I liked it better when it was Jacobs Field but whatever) and can be seen
on the YES Network and MLB TV. This series is going to hurt. Let’s get it over
with. Go Yankees!
