We are in the Spring Training stretch run. The regular season begins one week from today and the Yankees have only six exhibition games remaining this spring, including this afternoon’s match against the Twins. The final home game at George M. Steinbrenner Field is Saturday. Pretty soon, these meaningless games will all be over.
Jordan Montgomery is making his final spring start this afternoon and, unlike last year, he’s locked into a rotation spot now. He’s starting the fifth game of the regular season — Montgomery gets the home opener, which is neat — so today’s game is his final tune-up.
