Don’t look now but the Yankees have won two games in a row at Tropicana Field. Who knew that was allowed? They have a strong chance to win the series now too! Unthinkable.
The Bombers will send Masahiro Tanaka to the mound to make his audition for Wild Card starter. Postseason Tanaka was filthy last year, but he’s been all over the place this season. The right-hander has enjoyed a much better second half. However, he was roughed around by the Red Sox during his last outing. He’ll need to bounce back tonight.
