The New York Yankees face their second-straight elimination game and Aaron Boone is going back to Edwin Encarnacion.
Giancarlo Stanton took over as DH in Game 5, but went hitless in three at-bats. It’s not completely clear whether or not this move was because of his hitless night or something related to the quad issue he’s dealt with during the American League Championship Series.
As both teams prepare to unfurl their bullpens in Game 6, the Yankees made sure to break up the right-handed hitters in the lineup.
Also notable, Chad Green will start for the Yankees.
