Thanks to a fairly easy win last night, the Yankees have now taken the first two games of the series in Seattle. Today, at a more palatable hour for those of us on the East Coast, they can finish off a sweep.
This afternoon’s game also bring us a fairly interesting pitching matchup. Over the offseason, the Yankees traded for James Paxton from the Mariners. While he wasn’t the only player sent back, the main piece in the deal was pitcher Justus Sheffield. This afternoon, we get to see them go head to head.
