The New York Yankees and the Kansas City Royals will continue
their four-game weekend set tonight in the Bronx with the second game of the
series. In the game tonight the Yankees will send out CC Sabathia to the mound
to face off with Brad Keller for the Royals in what is quickly becoming a
must-win for the Yankees, a must win if the team has any hopes of winning the
division anyway. Frankly, I don’t care either way. The team was a Wild Card
winner last year while the Boston Red Sox won the division and it was the
Yankees who were one game away from the World Series, not the team assembled by
Dave Dombrowski and his predecessors. Anyway, I’m blabbering so let’s get to it
here in the Bronx.
Sabathia will enter the start tonight on extended rest due
to the game between the Mets and the Yankees being rained out on Sunday. Thanks
Mother Nature, again. Sabathia took a no-decision in his final start of the
first half against the Cleveland Indians after allowing four runs in 5.2
innings of work and will look to be much better tonight back in the Bronx.
Keller, another rookie pitcher for the Royals, will take the
mound for the first time against the Yankees and for the first time inside
Yankee Stadium tonight. Keller was shelled in his previous two starts before
bouncing back in his last start on Sunday against the Minnesota Twins where he
allowed just three runs in seven-plus innings of work.
The game will be played at 7:05 pm ET inside Yankee Stadium
and can be seen on WPIX channel 11. 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 the legendary duo of John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman.
Enjoy the game, tick tock Brian Cashman… tick tock, and go
Yankees!!
