NYY @ TOR: Marcus Stroman vs. Yusei Kikuchi

06/28/2024 06:37 PM

May the Yankees end their losing streak.

Hey folks, short game thread content today due to some last-minute circumstances!

Just for a quick background on the starters tonight, here's an excerpt from Matt's series preview.

"After allowing the Braves to get off to a quick start on Saturday, Stroman buckled down and put in a solid outing, bouncing back after he struggled a bit in Boston the previous weekend. Now, he'll have another meeting against the team he came up with. Back in April in the Yankees' home opener against this Toronto team, he was very good, allowing just three hits in six shutout innings. While it's only three starts to this point, he has generally been excellent when facing off against the Blue Jays.

Friday night will be another chance for the Yankees to try and end their weird struggles against Kikuchi. He shut them out opposite Stroman back in April, which came on the back of two one-run outings against the Yankees last year. His career ERA is 4.69, but the Yankees have only doomed him to one of 3.08 in 14 games."

Gleyber Torres is back in the starting lineup. Otherwise, it's a pretty similar starting nine to those used the previous couple night. Jahmai Jones is DHing. Sure. Neat. Someone more than Judge, please do something!

Go Yankees, go baseball.
