Following a raucous split with the Astros*, the Yankees welcome the team that took Houston out in the 2019 World Series to the Bronx for some interleague action. While this Nationals team looks a tad different from the one that made it to the mountaintop two seasons ago, the franchise’s foundational pieces remain intact, and should be a pleasure to watch compete over this four-game series.
Fans will have to wait until tomorrow for the series’ marquee matchup, when Max Scherzer squares off against a resurgent Corey Kluber, but today’s slate still offers some intrigue, with a pair of bounce-back candidates in Patrick Corbin and Jameson Taillon.
