After a solid victory last night, the Yankees will continue to stretch out Michael King as they chase their second win in a row. This will be King’s third “start” of the season, throwing two innings against Atlanta and 2.2 against the Marlins. He’s thrown 41 and 50 pitches respectively, and I imagine the Yankees will allow him to add another 10 or so today if they’re serious about King potentially joining the rotation next season.
In 69 innings, the righty has a 3.13 ERA and the second-best K-BB% of his career. The Tigers don’t exactly boast the toughest lineup in the game, so we should get a decent outing out of King if his stuff is on.
