The New York Yankees made the trip across the country to the
beautiful state of California to take on the team that doesn’t know what part
of California they want to be affiliated with, the Los Angeles Angels of
Anaheim of Orange County of Disney World of the Golden Gate Bridge. In all
seriousness though the Yankees begin a series with Mike Trout and the Angels
tonight at possibly the perfect time for New York as Los Angeles has really
struggled over the past two-to-three weeks losing many, many games. Will the
Yankees continue to hand the Angels “L’s” or will they fall into the trap? The
man donned with the mission to do the former and not the latter for the Yankees
is Masahiro Tanaka while the Angels will counter with Jered Weaver looking for
a victory of his own.
Tanaka has won each of his last two starts for the Yankees
while striking out eight opposing batters in each of those two victories.
Tanaka looks to make that three in a row tonight in Los Angeles as he also
looks to end the Yankees mini two-game losing streak.
Weaver on the other hand was not great in his last start or
the two starts prior to that as well. In fact Weaver has lost each of his last
three decisions including a five run and 10 hits allowed effort last time out
against the Cleveland Indians. Yeah, more like that tonight Jered please.
The game will be played at 10:05 pm ET inside Angel Stadium
of Anaheim and can be seen on Fox Sports One and MLB TV. Thank goodness this is
a Friday game because I’ve been sick all week and the thought of staying up
until 1:00 am or even 2:00 am on a weekday doesn’t really excite me like it
used to. I’ll do what I have to do to root for my boys though, believe that. Go
Yankees!
