The New York Yankees and the San Francisco Giants are back
for Round Two today in the Bronx as they continue their three-game weekend set
in the Bronx. The Giants laid down a bit against the Boston Red Sox towards the
end of the week and now send their best three pitchers to the mound against the
Yankees this weekend, lucky us. Last night it was Madison Bumgarner taking the
mound for San Francisco and today it is Jeff Samardzija while the Yankees
counter with Ivan Nova.
Nova has had just one start in his career against the San
Francisco Giants and it was arguably the best start of his career. Now while
this is an entirely different Giants offense today Nova did toss a shutout back
in September of 2013 allowing just six hits and striking out seven San
Francisco Giants. Yeah, more of that today please.
The game will be played at 4:05 pm ET inside Yankee Stadium
and can be seen on the YES Network and MLB TV. Coming into this series I had
this game as the easiest or most likely to win for New York which means if the
past is any indicator of the future New York will get no-hit today. In all
seriousness though New York has had success against right-handed pitching this
season and have especially had success against Samardzija during his career and
most recently while he was with the Chicago White Sox so there is always that
to build on. Get a victory, make me look intelligent. Go Yankees, I need all
the help I can get here lately.
