The New York Yankees return home from a 5-1 trip to host the Cleveland Guardians for Lou Gehrig Day on Tuesday night
The New York Yankees (36-23) open a three-game series with the Cleveland Guardians (34-27) at Yankee Stadium in New York on Tuesday night as Major League Baseball marks Lou Gehrig Day, honoring the legendary Yankee first baseman. MLB began honoring Gehrig on June 2 back in 1921 as the date coincides with two major events in his life. His longtime record of 2,130 consecutive games played began on June 2, 1925, when he replaced Wally Pipp — who asked out of the lineup because of a headache — and later died on June 2, 1941, from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. MLB promotes ALS awareness through a jersey patch and wristbands and also holds auctions with the proceeds going toward research.

New York compressed all of its offense into one inning on Sunday, sending 18 men to the plate and scoring 13 runs in the third inning of a 13-8 victory over the Athletics. Ben Rice drove in four runs during the outburst with a two-RBI double and a two-run triple. The Yankees, remarkably, did not get a runner on base in any other inning. Will Warren improved to 7-1, working six innings and allowing three runs, all unearned.
The Guardians arrive off a 2-4 homestand that ended Sunday with a 9-4 loss to the Boston Red Sox. Cleveland led 2-1 after two innings and reclaimed a 4-3 lead in the fifth before the Red Sox pushed across six runs in the seventh. Austin Hedges had a two-run single in the second while José Ramírez and Chase DeLauter drove in runs in the fifth. Tanner Bibee left with the lead but wound up setting a franchise record as the first pitcher for the club to go winless in his first 13 starts of a season.
Right-hander Cam Schlittler (7-2) takes the ball for the Yankees in the series opener. In 12 starts, Schlitter owns a 1.50 ERA and 0.847 WHIP — both best in the American League — in 72 innings with 81 strikeouts. Cleveland opens the series with left-hander Joey Cantillo (4-2), who enters with a 3.57 ERA and 1.397 WHIP over 12 starts and 58 innings.
