It’s safe to say this series did not kick off the way that the Yankees wanted. Needing essentially back-to-back sweeps against Toronto over the next week to stay in the hunt, they laid an egg and scored just a single run while Clarke Schmidt ran into trouble. Oh well, it was a pipe dream at best. At the very least hopefully they close out this homestand strong, for the poor souls who will be in the Stadium if for nothing else. (I’ll be one of those poor souls this weekend.)
While you’re waiting for this rivalry match to get back underway, take a look at what we’ve got set up for today.
