The Yankees have won two straight games — one in extra innings, one shortened by rain — and five of six since the All-Star break. They had to come out of the gate strong and take advantage of this ten-game second half-opening homestand, and so far they’ve done that. One more game with the worst team in baseball — a team that just traded its elite closer, by the way — is on tap for this afternoon. Finish off this series on a high note, then get ready for the big weekend against the Blue Jays. Here is the Rangers lineup and here is the Yankees lineup:
- CF Jacoby Ellsbury
- LF Brett Gardner
- DH Carlos Beltran
- 1B Brian McCann
- 3B Chase Headley
- 2B Brian Roberts
- RF Ichiro Suzuki
- C Frankie Cervelli
- SS Brendan Ryan
RHP Brandon McCarthy
It’s hot, humid, and overcast in New York today, but there isn’t any rain in the forecast, thankfully. It was coming down pretty hard last night. This afternoon’s game is scheduled to start at 1:05pm ET and can be seen on YES locally and, depending on where you live, MLB Network nationally. Enjoy.
