After taking two-of-three from the Rays, the New York Yankees continue their homestand as they welcome the Detroit Tigers into Yankee Stadium.
The trade deadline buzz is behind us, and the New York Yankees are ready to take on the Detroit Tigers in the first of three from the Bronx.
Luis Severino is on the hill for his 21st start of the 2017 season coming off a winning decision on Wednesday against the Seattle Mariners. He registered nine strikeouts over seven innings of work while yielding just three hits.
The 23-year-old All-Star is also rocking an 18.0-inning active streak without allowing an earned run, the longest such stretch of his career.
For Detroit, last year’s American League Rookie of the Year Award winner, Michael Fulmer, will get the starting nod. He has taken a loss in each of his last two starts — combined 11 runs (eight earned) over 10.2 innings — after winning his previous four.
Fulmer has one start against the Yankees in his brief Major League career and allowed just two hits on June 12, 2016.
