The Yankees are riding high into a rematch with their archrivals, having flown into Kansas City and swept the Royals out of their stadium before heading back to the Northeast. The pitching staff got itself back on the right track, giving up a grand total of five runs over these last three games after getting drilled for 27 over the weekend. Now revenge is on the table, and they’ll have their hands full trying to get it in Fenway.
We’ve got a full slate leading up to first pitch, and it starts with Sam giving us the series preview filled with lefties on the mound. Jeff covers the Rivalry Roundup with another dominant Tarik Skubal performance, Matt has the 2000 Diary and a frustrating loss to the Sox on this day 25 years ago, and Peter brings a Clarke Schmidt masterpiece in for the Sequence of the Week. Jeremy looks into the Yankees’ success against lefties at the plate this year, and later on I’ll be back to answer your latest mailbag questions.
