The New York Yankees have departed Toronto to travel to Ohio for a three-game set with the 19-24 Cincinnati Reds. The Bombers are coming off a very productive couple series against the Blue Jays and Rays, which saw the Yankees go 5-3, across eight games.
Clarke Schmidt will take the ball for the series opener, looking to bounce back from his disastrous outing against the Rays last weekend, which saw the right-hander cough up seven earned runs over 4.2 frames. The narrow 8-7 loss to Tampa Bay prevented a Yankees series victory and forced them to settle for a split.
