It’s been a mostly ugly week for the Yankees. They’ve lost close games and they’ve lost blowouts on their way to 4 straight losses, and it sure would be nice to see the offense wake up tonight and carry the team to a victory to break out of this little slump. It might take that with CC Sabathia on the mound because you just never know with him these days. Here’s the Brett Gardner-less lineup that will be behind him tonight:
1) Jacoby Ellsbury- CF
2) Chris Young- LF
3) Alex Rodriguez- DH
4) Mark Teixeira- 1B
5) Carlos Beltran- RF
6) Chase Headley- 3B
7) Jose Pirela- 2B
8) Stephen Drew- SS
9) John Ryan Murphy- C
This is your game thread if you’re not oot and aboot this evening.
