- #961 YANKEES with Warren (-) over Blue Jays with Berrios at 7:07 PM EST
In a nasty mood off a pair of road losses to the Blue Birds, the Bronx Bombers will storm back with a solid performance here. New York's lead in the AL East is down to 1.0-game over Toronto and 1.5-games over Tampa Bay and manager Aaron Boone and his troops need to crank their game up a notch in order to stay on top in the division.
Storming the mound for the visitors will be right-hander Will Warren. With 17 starts in the books this year, No. 98 has been tapped for 39 earned runs and 71 hits in 80.1 innings of work. Will struck out 103 and walked 35 on his way to a 5-4 record with a 4.37 ERA. Equally impressive, in his last four starts against the A's, O's, Halos, and Royals, Warren was scratched for five earned runs and 18 hits in 23.0 frames. That's good enough for a 1-1 record with an outstanding 1.96 ERA.
Aging righty Jose Berrios will counter for the home team. So far this season, No. 17 has made 17 starts and been cracked for 37 earned runs and 86 hits in 102.0 innings. Jose whiffed 89 and walked 37 on his way to a 4-3 mark with a 3.26 ERA. Thankfully, in 14 career outings against the Pinstripes, Berrios has assembled a rough 4-8 tally with a 4.89 ERA.
On a technical note, New York has tasted victory in 150 of its last 261 overall, 64 of its last 109 when coming off a loss, 76 of its last 130 as a guest, and 59 of its last 101 priced as road chalk. On the other side of the yard, Toronto has fallen in 44 of its last 79 in division play.
If the Yankees want to stay in the top spot in the AL East, then winning this game is essential. Take New York with Warren. Thanks and best of luck, Tom.
