After thumping the Milwaukee Brewers 12-2 last night, the Yankees look to take the series with a win tonight. Also, the Bombers chased former Cy Young Award winner, Zack Greinke, out of the game in the second inning. Greinke threw 56 pitches and gave up seven runs in his short outing. With last night’s win and a Red Sox loss, the Yankees are in first place by 1.5 games in the AL East. Mark Teixeira smashed his 24th home run of the season last night, tying him with Jose Bautista for most home runs in all of baseball. On the mound tonight for the Yankees is A.J. Burnett. During his last...

The New York Yankees (39-28) are on the road for a six-game interleague play. The first three-game series will be played at The Friendly Confines in Chicago. The last time the Yankees were at Wrigley Field, was back in ’03. The Cubbies took 2 of 3 from the Bombers. I hope the Yankee pitchers get extra-time in the batting cage and on running the bases drills, cause they are pitching in the National League for the next six days, which means, no designated hitter. This is a disadvantage for an American League team coming into a National League park, cause they lose that...

The New York Yankees (31-24) will not be facing right-handed pitcher, Dan Haren in tonight’s tilt. Haren was pushed back to Tuesday due to a lower back ailment.

Taking the ball for the Yankees is C.C. Sabathia, who will be looking for his fourth straight win tonight. Over his last three starts, Sabathia has a 1.80 ERA, through 25 innings. Jorge Posada is batting eighth again tonight. New York Yankees: (31-24) 1....
