The New York Yankees are back from the west coast, back in
the Bronx and ready to continue their climb back towards the top of the
American League East Division. Standing in their way over the next two games
will be the Cincinnati Reds who come into this final week before the July 31st
trading deadline presumably as sellers and as a team that is looking to play
spoiler any chance they can. That’s going to have to start on Friday though as
the Yankees will send Jordan Montgomery to the mound tonight looking to lock
down the Reds offense. Meanwhile the Reds will send Luis Castillo to the mound
looking for a victory for Cincinnati. Interleague play, let’s do it.
Montgomery heads into the start tonight fresh off his first
loss since the month of May last time out against the Minnesota Twins. In the
start Montgomery allowed six runs on seven hits in six innings of work dropping
his season win/loss record to 4-2 and raising his ERA to 3.63 in 11 starts.
Castillo also took the loss in his last start against the Arizona Diamondbacks allowing four runs on Thursday. Castillo was doomed from the start allowing three runs in the first inning before making an adjustment when he got back to the dugout before settling down.
The game will be played at 7:05 pm ET inside Yankee Stadium
and can be seen on WPIX Channel 11 and MLB TV. You can also follow along in
your cars and on the radio by tuning into the WFAN broadcast with John Sterling
and Suzyn Waldman. This time the pitchers don’t have to hit! Enjoy it and Go
Yankees!
