New York Yankees @ Kansas City Royals: Clarke Schmidt vs. Steven Cruz

The Yankees’ final series of the 2023 campaign did not get off to the best of starts last night. Carlos Rodón ended his year on a horrible note, as he failed to record an out, with the Yankees eventually losing the game, 12-5. Tonight, they’ll trying to bounce back from that and secure their 82nd win to continue the franchise’s streak of winning seasons at 31 years in a row.

Getting the ball for tonight’s game for the Yankees will be Clarke Schmidt. Going into the season, Schmidt was seemingly in a battle for the last rotation spot, but he’ll end the year behind only Gerrit Cole in terms of starts and innings pitched.
