The New York Yankees return home from a 3-3 road trip that ended with a missed opportunity for a sweep in Detroit. Now, they’ll face another AL Central opponent, as the Cleveland Guardians come to town for the first time under their new name.
The opening matchup of this series will see Jameson Taillon take the ball for the Yankees against the Eli Morgan. The right-handed Morgan will be making his first start of 2022, though he has worked three games out of the bullpen. In 18 starts last year, he had a 5.34 ERA and 5.14 FIP, so as Matt indicated in his series preview, the Yankees should theoretically be able to take care of business against him, but who knows with this offense?
