The last time the Yankees squared off against the Rangers, things didn’t go well for New York. The Bombers dropped two out of the three games in Arlington. Jeff Bannister’s squad sold off several pieces at the trade deadline, including Cole Hamels and Jake Diekman. Maybe the Yankees will have better luck against them now.
Fresh off the disabled list, Happ will make his second start for the Yankees. The veteran southpaw had a fine debut in pinstripes, holding the Royals to one run over six innings. Happ actually faced the Rangers back in April, where he tossed seven innings of two-run ball.
