Over the weekend, the Yankees took two of three from the Red Sox, including a 6-1 win Sunday behind late power from Cody Bellinger, while the Guardians lost two of three in Texas, capped by a 10-0 loss Sunday. New York is now tied for first in the American League East with the Rays while the Guardians lead the AL Central by two games over the White Sox.
Aaron Judge remains on the IR for New York, but a few players have stepped up at the plate in his absence. Over the last ten games, Ben Rice (.341) and Trent Grisham (.382) have been the team’s most productive hitters, both providing strong on-base presence and consistent contact. However, not every bat in the lineup has been hot for the Yankees. Paul Goldschmidt (.220) and Anthony Volpe (.189) have struggled for the majority of the last two weeks. As a team, though, the Yankees have hit .276 over their last 10 games and continue to lead the American League in runs scored for the season.
Cleveland’s lineup has struggled in comparison to New York’s over the last couple of weeks. They are hitting .245 as a team over their last ten games. Kyle Manzardo has been one of their hotter hitters, going 9-for-32 (.281) including a couple of home runs last week against the Yankees. Steven Kwan has shown flashes as well, picking up hits in recent games, including a multi-hit effort yesterday.
Each side is sending one of their more reliable arms to the mound to open this series. The Yankees turn to right-hander Will Warren (7-1, 3.22 ERA), who has been especially effective on the road this season and is coming off a scoreless outing in his last start. Cleveland counters with Gavin Williams (9-3, 3.20 ERA), one of the hotter pitchers in the American League, riding a four-decision including eight scoreless innings with 11 strikeouts in his last appearance.
