So the Yankees open a 3-game set against the Indians tonight at the Stadium. Andy Pettitte goes for the Yanks against Fausto Carmona.
Carmona (3-1, 2.60 ERA) has pitched well to start the year for the Tribe, although he has walked twice as many batters has he has struck out.
Overall, the Indians are a team that can score runs on a good night but have struggled this year for the most part.
It would be nice for the Yanks to get out to an early lead, keeping up with how they hit against Seattle over the weekend, not to mention giving some run support to Andy Pettitte.
The Yanks need to take 2 out of 3 from the Indians before heading to Detroit for a weekend series with the Tigers, who by that time will probably be due for a few wins...
BY THE WAY:
It was nice to hear Joe Torre back on the Mike and the Mad Dog show today...he said that the last two years in New York were not fun and he is having a blast in LA....good, he deserves it for what happened to him toward the end of his managerial run here...
