To the Brink

The Yankees are one loss away from going home for the winter. The Rays battered Tanaka in what may have been his last Yankee start and now it’s do-or-die.

Everyone is going to focus on Jordan Montgomery pitching tonight and how risky that will be, but what about Tampa’s pitchers? They are using a rookie opener and the going to a lefty for bulk innings. The Yankee bats should have chances, and they’d better take advantage of then, or a long winter will begin.
