After a slug-fest in Minnesota, the Yankees will look to continue their offensive success while finding a solution for their starting pitching. The trade deadline is quickly approaching and the Yankees could very well upgrade their starting staff this weekend while playing their biggest rival.
The importance of this series can’t go understated, The Bombers, who are 11 games ahead of Boston, could essentially bury the Red Sox before the calendar turns to August. You can never count out any contending team in baseball especially the reigning champions, but a series win would make for one comfortable lead.
