The Yankees and Rays will kick off a pivotal Game Three in the ALDS at 7:10 PM. With the series tied at one game apiece, whoever walks out victorious tonight will get two attempts to finish the job. It’s not a must-win, technically speaking, but it would make things a lot more comfortable for the winner.
In order to snag Game Three, the Yankees have another strong lineup running. One through seven remains the same as it was for the course of the Division Series, while Brett Gardner bats eight, and Kyle Higashioka takes over in the nine spot.
