The New York Yankees are back at it in the Bronx, riding high after taking down the Rangers and two-time Cy Young winner Jacob deGrom. With a chance to clinch their sixth straight series win, the energy is electric—and it all starts on the mound.

Will Warren has been nothing short of sensational to kick off the 2026 season. Through 37.2 innings, his ERA sits at a dazzling 2.39, backed by a strikeout rate north of 10 per nine innings and a WHIP of just 1.062. His three-pitch arsenal—four-seam fastball, sinker, and sweeper—has kept hitters guessing, while his curveball and changeup have been especially deadly against lefties, who have managed just two hits (none for extra bases) against those offerings. It's been a breakout campaign no one saw coming, and tonight, he's the man tasked with keeping the momentum rolling.

On the other side, the Rangers turn to an old friend: Nathan Eovaldi. If it feels like you just saw him, that's because you did. His last start came against the Yankees in Arlington, where he spun seven innings of shutout ball to earn the win—a game that also marked New York's most recent loss. Eovaldi has been a Yankee killer historically, posting a 3.05 ERA over 132.2 innings against his former team, and he's allowed just one run across his last 21 innings dating back to 2025. Expect a tough battle tonight.

The Yankee lineup features familiar faces, with Jasson Domínguez and Paul Goldschmidt stepping in for the injured Giancarlo Stanton and Ben Rice. Every batter in the order has faced Eovaldi before, so there's no shortage of familiarity. All eyes should be on Aaron Judge, who has torched Eovaldi to the tune of an .864 career OPS in 40 at-bats. Judge is on one of those patented Judgian tears, hitting .308/.459/.712 with 12 homers and 27 walks over his last 30 games. If he gets hot early, the Bronx could be in for a show.
