Don’t look now, but since losing two of three to the Orioles in Baltimore last week, the Yankees have won five of their last six, having just finished off a three-game sweep of Cleveland to introduce the Guardians to the Bronx. After a nice, relaxing off-day on Monday as the O’s returned from a West Coast swing, the Yankees return to action with another series against their kryptonite, this time at Yankee Stadium.
Luis Severino (1-0, 2.08 ERA, 3.06 FIP) gets the ball in the opener of this three-game set. Making his fourth start of the season, the 28-year-old right-hander looks to build on a strong start to the season that included five shutout innings against the potent Blue Jays lineup back on April 14th.
