Ginn"},"content":{"rendered":"

The ebbs and flows of a long, long baseball season can totally change your mood in a matter of days. Just six days ago, the Yankees had lost three consecutive games against division rivals and had fallen to 5.5 games back of the first-place Rays<\/a>. Six days later, they have a chance to pull within a half-game after winning five in a row and Tampa dropping their fifth game in six days this afternoon against the Angels.<\/p>\n

Ryan Weathers will take the bump, looking to secure the series victory in West Sacramento in his 11th start of 2026. It\u2019s been a terrific start to the season for the former Marlin, posting a 3.14 ERA (131 ERA+) and 3.45 FIP in 57.1 innings with 65 strikeouts. He\u2019s coming off a strong seven innings against the Rays at Yankee Stadium, and will look to replicate the eight innings of one-run ball he put up against this potent offense in early April.<\/p>\n

Toeing the slab for the (Sacramento) A\u2019s is J.T. Ginn<\/a>, the one-time Mets<\/a> prospect who you might remember from his near-no-hitter against the Angels earlier this month that resulted in a heartbreaking walk-off defeat<\/a>. Despite a nightmare start last time out, he\u2019s still pitching to a 3.19 ERA (141 ERA+) and 4.18 FIP in 12 appearances (nine starts) across 53.2 innings with 48 strikeouts. He\u2019s faced the Yankees once before, throwing five innings of one-run ball back in 2024.<\/p>\n

The peripherals are fairly pedestrian all around on Ginn, but he\u2019s been well above-average at preventing hard contact in the air and keeping the ball on the ground. He has a five-pitch mix, led by his sinker, which he throws 54 percent of the time against right-handed hitters. It\u2019s a much more even split from the left side, which he\u2019s struggled with more<\/a>, tossing his cutter, changeup, slider, and four-seamer all at least 14 percent of the time.<\/p>\n

Trent Grisham<\/a>, who\u2019s been heating up of late, will lead off again, followed by Ben Rice<\/a>, Aaron Judge<\/a>, Cody Bellinger<\/a>, and Jazz Chisholm Jr.<\/a> Paul Goldschmidt<\/a> will get another start at first base, batting sixth, while Ryan McMahon<\/a>, Austin Wells<\/a>, and Anthony Volpe<\/a> round out the lineup. Keep in mind that Amed Rosario<\/a> is unavailable<\/a> after being put on paternity leave.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s more of the same for the A\u2019s. Colby Thomas<\/a> leads off in front of Nick Kurtz<\/a>, Shea Langeliers<\/a>, Brent Rooker<\/a>, and Tyler Soderstrom<\/a>. Henry Bolte and Zack Gelof<\/a> get another start, while Darell Hernaiz<\/a> and Alika Williams<\/a> round out the bunch in the middle infield.<\/p>\n
