The Yankees have had a rollercoaster week, but nothing gets the Bombers back on track quite like a Subway Series showdown with their crosstown rivals. Last night's 5-2 victory in Queens was exactly what the doctor ordered, with Cam Schlittler delivering another stellar performance on the mound. Now, the team is eyeing a series win as Carlos Rodón takes the hill for his second start of the season, looking to fine-tune his command after a solid but uneven debut in Milwaukee.
Here's what we're covering today on Pinstripe Alley: Andrew breaks down Friday night's action across the American League, Sam profiles Yankees legend Billy Martin on what would have been his 96th birthday, Nick delivers this month's Reliever Confidence Index, and Kento takes a look at the tallest outfields in Yankees history—a fun bit of trivia for any fan.
Two big questions on our minds: First, how will Carlos Rodón look now that he's got a start under his belt and some MLB rhythm? Second, can the Mets turn things around, or is this shaping up to be another tough year in Queens? Drop your thoughts in the comments—we want to hear from you.
