Coming off an awful loss last night, New York looks to rebound today and win three of four from the last-place Athletics in Oakland. The Jays and Rays had the decency to lose yesterday as well so the Yankees didn’t cede any ground in the American League East, but one loss to the A’s is enough. Win this one and get ready to head to Anaheim to play the Angels.
Clarke Schmidt gets the ball today looking to show what he can do in the rotation. Pitching from the Yankee bullpen, Schmidt has thrown 33 innings so far this season.
