After yet another loss yesterday, the Yankees will begin today looking to avoid a sweep at the hands of the Blue Jays. The lead in the AL East is now down to seven games and a loss today will have it fall to the lowest it’s been since early June. However, every day is theoretically a new day and another chance of turning things around and getting back on track. Here’s to today maybe being that.
To try and avoid the sweep, the Yankees will send Nestor Cortes to the mound. In his last start, Cortes had a bad first inning, but bounced back to have a solid outing in a game the Yankees eventually lost.
