After opening up the new season on a West Coast road trip, the Yankees are finally headed home this weekend. However before they do, there\u2019s till one more game to finish up, as they\u2019re set to play the Mariners one last time. The Yankees dropped the opener in Seattle on a Cal Raleigh walk-off, but they rebounded last night thanks to another excellent effort from Max Fried. Although they already have a winning road trip guaranteed (5-1 or 4-2), they won\u2019t rest on their laurels, and they will try to take a second-straight series on the new year.<\/p>\n
The first time around in the rotation, Fried threw a scoreless outing on Opening Day, and was followed by Cam Schlittler doing the same in San Francisco for Game 2. Today, Schlittler will attempt to repeat that pattern after Fried kept the M\u2019s off the scoreboard<\/a> on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Despite facing a righty in George Kirby, the Yankees are giving starts to both Paul Goldschmidt and Amed Rosario, in an otherwise normal lineup. At least in the case of Rosario, that may have something to do with Ryan McMahon looking lost at the plate so far this season. This will be Goldschmidt\u2019s first appearance of the season, as Ben Rice shifts to DH and Giancarlo Stanton takes a seat on the bench. Stanton\u2019s been hotter than just about anyone in baseball, but the Yankees perhaps understandably being cautious with the oft-injured 36-year-old is nothing new.<\/p>\n As mentioned, Kirby will take the mound for the Mariners, coming off a season debut where he held Cleveland to one run in six innings. The M\u2019s will roll out a similar cast of characters to last night in their starting lineup, though they did tag in Dominic Canzone for Rob Refsnyder at DH and Luke Raley for Victor Robles in right field. Offseason trade acquisition Brendan Donovan also returns to the leadoff spot after hitting sixth against Fried.<\/p>\n We hope that you\u2019ll come join us in the game thread for this afternoon\u2019s action, and here\u2019s everything you need to know ahead of the game.<\/p>\n How to Watch<\/p>\n Location:\u00a0T-Mobile Park \u2014 Seattle, WA<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n First pitch:\u00a04:10 p.m. ET<\/p>\n TV broadcast:\u00a0YES Network (NYY) | Mariners.TV (SEA)<\/p>\n Online stream: Gotham Sports App, MLB.tv<\/p>\n Listen:\u00a0WFAN 660\/101.9 FM, WADO 1280 (NYY) | Seattle Sports 710 AM (SEA)<\/p>\n For updates, follow us on\u00a0BlueSky<\/a>,\u00a0Twitter<\/a>, and\u00a0Instagram<\/a>, and like us on\u00a0Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n Join the conversation!<\/p>\n
