Take it away, Bruce Wrigley:
Tuesday and Wednesday, the Yankees come in to Toronto for a short
two-game series sandwiched between a couple of off days. (Note to
Toronto-area fans: the Tuesday night game is a $2 Tuesday so do what
you can to make it down to the park and make some noise for the good
guys).
Like the Blue Jays, the Yankees have
been inconsistent to begin the season and come into the game with a 6-6
record. Both teams are looking up at all three of their other AL East
competitors so each will be hoping for at least a win to keep them in
touch with the lead.
Over the weekend, the
Yanks dropped two of three in the Metrodome, looking bad in a 5-1 loss
to Scott Baker on Friday night but strong in a 9-3 win over Brad Radke
on Sunday. Earlier, the Yanks had played their home opener in a
three-game set with the Royals and pounded their way to a three-game
sweep averaging ten runs a game.
