Following their third straight series loss, the New York Yankees are looking to right the ship as they take on the Texas Rangers at Yankee Stadium for a three-game weekend series.
Taking the hill for New York will be “ace” Masahiro Tanaka, who’s coming off yet another dismal start against the Oakland Athletics on Saturday on the West Coast. The righty took the loss after allowing five earned runs on eight hits in four innings of work. Since May 18, Tanaka owns an 8.91 ERA with 15 home runs allowed in 33.1 innings of work.
Going against him will be fellow Japanese hurler, Yu Darvish.
