Tonight's game will be against the Seattle Mariners. Severino gets the ball in tonight's start against Karns, both are still looking for there first wins of the season. Game time will be at 7:05 p.m. at Yankee Stadium. It's going to be one interesting night since Robinson Cano will be returning to the Bronx but not in pinstripes.
"I understand [why they act the way they do]," Cano said. "I agree with them. I'm not there anymore. It's not like you're going to cheer for [someone on the opposing team the way you'd cheer for] one of your guys. I have fun with it. I don't have any complaints about Yankees fans. They remember me and supported me, and it's something I'm always going to appreciate."
We will see the reactions later tonight. Maybe he will be cheered on for the 9 years he played for the Yankees or will he be booed for leaving. I get he left because business is business. If he didn't like the contract they offered Cano, at least they gave it there best shot. I'm sure people will be excited to see him back in action.
This should be a good game. New York is looking to bounce back from there tough series loss to the Blue Jays. There bats fell short in the last two games. They hope to gain some ground with Severino on the mound.
Last night was definitely a good performance by the New York Yankees winning 3-2 against one of there toughest tests of the year. Last season the Yankees were on a roll but the only the that kept hurting New York's second half of the season were the Blue Jays.
New York entered the sixth inning trailing 2-1 until McCann hit a homerun to tie the game at two. Jacoby Ellsbury scored the winning run with his go-ahead single in the seventh inning. It's great to see some life in Ellsbury because he has been taking hits lately because of his poor performance at the plate.
Masahiro was a lot better in this start, only giving up two runs over five innings. He only lasted five innings due to his high pitch count. He needs to keep working, he's still not at his best. But he got the job done last night regardless. Tanaka is still looking for his first win of the season. Overall this was a very good game.
Pineda gets the mound in tonight's start against Happ and the Blue Jays. Game time is at 7:07 p.m. at the Rogers Centre.
