You know, I incorrectly labeled yesterday’s game thread Game 149 instead of Game 150, and either no one noticed or no one bothered to tell me so I could correct it. Not sure what’s worse, to be honest.
Anyway, the Yankees and Twins are back at this evening, with the second game of their three-game series. The Yankees won the opener last night, giving them a five-game lead over Minnesota for the top wildcard spot. The race isn’t over, but a five-game lead with 12 games to play? I like the Yankees’ chances. Here is the Twins’ lineup and here is the Yankees’ lineup:
- LF Brett Gardner
- RF Aaron Judge
- C Gary Sanchez
- SS Didi Gregorius
- DH Chase Headley
- 2B Starlin Castro
- CF Jacoby Ellsbury
- 3B Todd Frazier
It’s raining sideways in New York.
