The fun thing about having a really strong rotation is at least once a week you get to get all excited about a pitching matchup. Today that’s New York’s own George Kirby vs. New York’s adopted son Gerrit Cole.
Lineups:
The Mariners missed Cole when the Yankees came to Seattle a few weeks ago before the Road Trip That Shall Not Be Named, and they also missed both Giancarlo Stanton and Anthony Rizzo, who were both banged up when the Yankees were in Seattle. Their absence was more than compensated for by one (1) Aaron Judge, who will in turn miss this series with a sprained toe.
