The New York Yankees are entering their home opener coming off a promising comeback victory against Baltimore on Sunday afternoon.
This victory was everything the Yankees needed to regain their confidence heading home. They weren’t able to capitalize on runners in scoring position early, but they ultimately got the job done.
Since opening the new Yankee Stadium, New York is 4-4 in opening games, but they did win an MLB record 11 straight between 1998 and 2008.
Today, Joe Girardi hands the ball to Michael Pineda, who will be looking to rebound in his second start of the young season and provide the home crowd some hope for the season to come.
