Coming off a four-game split in Oakland, a traditional house of horrors for the Yankees, the club wraps up a West Coast trip with a three-game set in Los Angeles. A series victory against the Angels would send New York back to the Bronx with a winning record from this seven-game stretch and continue the Yankees’ second-half push toward the playoffs.
A familiar face takes the mound for the Yankees tonight, albeit one who has not started for the club in months. Corey Kluber makes his return tonight, after missing more than three months due to injury.
