Marco Gonzales vs. Domingo German, 4:05pm
After stumbling just slightly in Houston, the M’s venture east to face the top team in the American League. This morning, I might have set it up by talking about the new and improved M’s will have Luis Castillo make his debut, but then the Yankees went and got new and improved themselves. This is now the show and tell series.
The Yankees made a big move for a vaunted starting pitcher as well, grabbing Frankie Montas (and reliever Lou Trivino) from the Oakland A’s in exchange for pitching prospect Ken Waldichuk, Luis Medina, and current RP/swingman JP Sears (a former M’s draft pick who went to NY in the ill-fated Nick Rumbelow deal).
