The Yankees will take the field this afternoon in the boogie down with the opportunity to win a series from the team with the best record in the American League. They’ll be looking to build upon the momentum from yesterday’s thrilling come-from-behind victory (one in which the Yankees’ win expectancy was 10 percent at one point) to grab their second win in a row and fifth of the last six overall. The Bombers will send Jordan Montgomery to the mound today looking for the win.
Montgomery, who’s had an up-and-down 2021 thus far, is coming off two less-than-stellar starts against Minnesota on June 8th and Toronto on June 15th in which he allowed 13 hits and 7 earned runs in 11 combined innings.
