No weekend is complete without the Yankees and the team will
not disappoint this weekend as the team returns home to the Bronx to play host
to the Seattle Mariners in a three-game weekend set. With both teams in a fight
for the two Wild Card playoff spots in the American League this has all the
makings of being a huge series for both teams. The Mariners added a lot of
pieces before the July 31st trade deadline but so did the Yankees so
it will be interesting to see how each of their respective set of moves plays
out over the weekend. In the opener of the three-game set the Yankees will send
CC Sabathia to the mound to make his second start since coming off the disabled
list while the Mariners will counter with Ariel Miranda. Enjoy the game!
Sabathia pitched a quality start last time out after
struggling for the better part of a month beforehand, presumably due to the
pain in his knee. Sabathia will be making his second start off the disabled
list tonight and the second start against the Mariners in 2017 after allowing
just one run in five innings of work against Seattle on July 21st.
Miranda has struggled with command lately which usually
doesn’t bode well for opposing pitchers against the Yankees inside Yankee
Stadium. In Miranda’s last 14.2 innings pitched he has allowed 13 earned runs
while also walking nine batters in the same span. Yes please.
The game will be played at 7:05 pm ET inside Yankee Stadium
and can be seen on WPIX Channel 11, MLB Network 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. Need a win, get a win. Go Yankees!!!
