The Detroit Tigers and the New York Yankees will continue
their four-game weekend set tonight with the second game of the series in the
Bronx. In the start tonight the Yankees will send Luis Severino out to the
mound to face off with Jordan Zimmermann. The Yankees starting rotation, not to
look too far ahead, is set up nicely to have Happ (last night’s starter) pitch
the AL Wild Card Game if it came to that with tonight’s starter, Severino,
pitching a potential Game One of the ALDS. I like it, so let’s get to it here
in the Bronx.
Severino has won each of his last two starts and has shown
at least glimpses of being able to fix what has ailed the right-hander for much
of the second half of the season. In Severino’s last start the righty allowed
three runs, two of them earned, across 5.2 innings en route to his MLB-leading
17th victory of the season.
Zimmermann has also struggled since the All-Star break this
season posting a 2-5 record with a 5.50 ERA. Let’s hope tonight does not mark
his magical turnaround this season. Zimmermann may see the Yankees as just what
the doctor ordered judging by his career 3-1 record against the Bombers with a
3.09 ERA.
The game will be played at 7:05 pm ET inside Yankee Stadium
and can be seen on the YES Network. 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, play every game from here on out like it is
a playoff game, and go Yankees!!
