It’s so awesome that the Yankees get to play a day-night doubleheader on the final weekend of the regular season. No really, I mean it, it’s greeeeeaaaaaaaat. They’ll start the festivities in Baltimore this afternoon with Ivan Nova on the mound and a righty-heavy lineup behind him to counter left-hander Wei-Yin Chen. This will be the fifth time the Yankees have faced Ched this year, and they knocked him around pretty good the last time in an 8-6 win on September 7th. Here’s the Yankees’ starting lineup:
1) Brett Gardner- CF
2) Rob Refsnyder- 2B
3) Alex Rodriguez- DH
4) Chris Young- LF
5) Chase Headley- 1B
6) John Ryan Murphy- C
7) Jose Pirela- RF
8) Austin Romine- 1B
9) Brendan Ryan- SS
First pitch is scheduled for 12:05 local time, Yanks can clinch WC home field with a win.
