New York and Boston will meet again a month from today when New York heads to Fenway Park for a three game series where New York will be looking for the same result while Boston will be aiming to avenge being swept at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx by New York.

Until then New York has to focus on what is in front of them which is a three game series with Tampa Bay in the Bronx starting Tuesday night who they lost three out of four games to at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg Florida nine days ago.

This time around New York will be looking for a different result. Will a change of scenery help them?

That is yet to known but what I do know is that Masahiro Tanaka and Blake Snell will start the opening game of the three game series in the Bronx on Tuesday night!

The Japanese right handed pitcher comes into the game with a record of 0-0 with an earn run average of 2.31.Tanaka leaned heavily on his slider and splitter in his last start, holding the Braves to two runs and five hits over four innings. Tanaka tossed 66 pitches in the outing and is continuing to build stamina after sustaining a concussion on July 4. He will oppose Tampa Bay’s Blake Snell in the opening game of the three game series who unlike him has a record of 1-0 with an earn run average of 2.08. In his last time out, Snell had his best outing of the season, tossing five scoreless innings against the Red Sox. Snell will face the Yankees for the second time this season; he pitched three scoreless innings in the first meeting. “according to https://www.mlb.com/yankees/roster/probable-pitchers
