After a wild end to that series in Minnesota, the Yankees come home for a three-game interleague set against the Cubs over the weekend.
The opening act of this series will pin a couple of very different starting pitchers. Luis Severino takes the ball for the Yankees against the veteran southpaw Wade Miley. It’s a battle of power against finesse.
Severino has really taken a step forward in his last four starts, in which he’s thrown 26.1 innings allowing only five earned runs, and four of those came in the outing against the Tampa Bay Rays on May 29th.
