After taking the series opener in Miami on Friday, yesterday the Yankees found themselves facing the Sandy Alcantara who won the 2022 NL Cy Young, rather than the Marlins’ bland imitation who has taken the mound throughout 2023. As a result, the series is split heading into today’s finale.
New York has the right man on the mound for this one, with Gerrit Cole taking the ball. Today marks his 25th start of the season, and if the campaign ended tomorrow, the Yankee ace might well finally take home his first Cy Young Award.
