The New York Yankees and the Minnesota Twins will be back at
it again tonight in the Bronx, and back to that weird start time, with the
second game of their four-game set this week inside Yankee Stadium. Last night
was Tanaka time and tonight the Yankees watch as the veteran CC Sabathia heads
out to the mound to face off with Jose Berrios for the Twins. CC looked good in
his first start since coming off the disabled list, but the Yankees will need a
little more length out of the veteran southpaw before he is truly relied upon
here in 2018.
Sabathia will make his fourth start of the 2018 campaign
tonight here in the Bronx and will be looking to pitch past the fifth inning
for the first time in this young season. Sabathia has been effective tossing a
2.70 ERA and is fresh off a start against the Toronto Blue Jays where he
allowed just two unearned runs I 4.1 innings pitched but will need to provide
some length tonight against the Twins if at all possible.
Berrios had a breakout season for Minnesota in 2017 posting
a 14-8 record with a 3.89 ERA and will look to improve on that here in 2018.
Berrios is off to a good start this year with a 2-1 record and a 1.63 ERA and
will look to improve on his career numbers against the Yankees which currently
sit at 1-1 with a 3.62 ERA. However, Berrios is 0-1 with an 8.10 ERA in his
only trip to Yankee Stadium in his career, where he makes his return to
tonight.
The game will be played at 6:35 pm ET inside Yankee Stadium
and can be seen on the YES Network locally and MLB Network outside of the
Yankees market. You can also follow along with the game on MLB TV, with the MLB
At-Bat app and by tuning into the Yankees radio broadcast on WFAN with John
Sterling and Suzyn Waldman.
Enjoy the game, the Yankees are the Twins daddies, and go
Yankees!!
