For the first time this season, the Yankees are heading to the so-called Senior Circuit for interleague play. They’ll play the next two days without the DH (boo hiss).
The Last Time They Met
The Yankees and Nationals had a pair of two-game sets back in 2015, with one coming in May and the other in June. The Yankee dropped three of those four games, despite outscoring the Nationals 18 to 17 (which is what happens when you drop two one-run games and a two-run game). Some notes:
- Didi Gregorius started just two of the four games, sitting in favor of Stephen Drew and Brendan Ryan once apiece.
