Yankees offense faces huge test against trio of Giants aces

Sports

Giants All-Star starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner

Joe Girardi has talked about the Yankees being in “playoff mode” for a while now, with his team treading water around .500 and on the verge of falling out of any postseason conversation with the trade deadline approaching.

If that’s the case, they should be prepared for the upcoming series against the Giants, who are throwing three starters at them who look like they belong in an NLDS.

First, they’ll get Madison Bumgarner in Friday’s opener, followed by Jeff Samardzija on Saturday and Johnny Cueto on Sunday.
