Alright. I don’t want to talk about the last five games and no one can make me. Play tonight. Win tonight. Simple as that. The Yankees start a short West Coast trip this evening with the opener of a three-game set against Seattle, and they’re riding a five-game losing streak into this matchup (not to mention 16 losses in their last 25 contests).
Jameson Taillon gets the call for New York against the Mariners. For the year, Taillon has a 10-2 record and has pitched to a 3.96 ERA. But after flirting with a no-hitter against the Angels on June 2nd, the majority of his starts have been ugly.
