The Yankees rolled into this crucial series with Toronto with all the momentum in the world, but as they say, momentum is just the next day’s starting pitcher. Yesterday’s starter, Cam Schlittler came crashing down to earth, and the Yankees now need to win these next two games if they want to take this series from the Blue Jays. They’ll send out Luis Gil today to oppose Max Scherzer in that effort.
It’s an early game today, so be ready for Gil and Scherzer to face off by 1 pm eastern. Ahead of the
game, you can get caught up on a busy Friday night with our Rivalry Roundup, while Sam looks back for today’s entry in the 2000 Yankees diary. Nick Power also opines on what the Yankees’ current playoff chances say about MLB’s overall playoff format.
