The New York Yankees have been through the rotation once,
technically, and will turn the rotation over for the first time tonight here in
the Bronx. In the middle game of their three-game set with the Detroit Tigers,
the Yankees will send Masahiro Tanaka to the mound for his second start of the
young season. Opposing Tanaka will be Jordan Zimmermann who was almost
unhittable in his first start of the season. It should be an interesting
matchup to say the least, so let’s get to it here in the Bronx.
Tanaka ripped the Opening Day monkey off his back here in
2019, limiting the Baltimore Orioles to just two runs, one of them earned, over
six hits in 5.2 innings pitched. The Yankees won the game while Tanaka became
the first Yankees starter to record at least five strikeouts without a walk on
Opening Day snice Catfish Hunter.
Zimmermann was equally as strong on Opening Day in Toronto
against the Blue Jays, pitching 6.2 perfect innings before giving up a hit.
Zimmermann has pitched well inside of Yankee Stadium lately including a streak
of 12 innings without giving up a run over the last two seasons.
The game will be played at 6:35 pm ET inside Yankee Stadium
in the Bronx and can be seen on the YES Network. You can also follow along with
the game on MLB TV and on WFAN with John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman. Enjoy the game
and, as always, go Yankees!!
