Good morning Yankees family and a very Happy Friday to you
all. The New York Yankees head home tonight fresh off a hell of a road trip
that saw the team dominate the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim and more than hold
their own against the defending champion Houston Astros. This team is heating
up and is primed to make a run, a run that continues tonight in the Bronx
against the Cleveland Indians. In the opener of the three-game set this weekend
the Yankees will send CC Sabathia to the mound to face off with Josh Tomlin for
the Indians. Let’s get to it in the Bronx.
Sabathia is looking for his third straight win since coming
off the disabled list tonight as he opens up the series with the Yankees
against the team that drafted him. Sabathia is 2-0 with a 0.52 ERA since coming
off the disabled list in three starts allowing just one earned run in 17.1
innings of work over that span.
Tomlin on the other hand has struggled lately including his
last start against the Seattle Mariners. In that start on Sunday the Indians
right-hander allowed six runs on 10 hits including two home runs in six innings
of work for Cleveland in a loss. Tomlin has allowed 10 home runs in 18.2
innings pitched this year and enters the Cathedral in the Bronx with a career
8.57 ERA in 21 innings pitched there throughout his career.
The game will be played at 7:05 pm ET inside Yankee Stadium
in the Bronx 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 with John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman on WFAN.
Enjoy the game, too many damn home runs again tonight, and
go Yankees!!
