After coming away with the 4-3 victory Friday night, the New York Yankees will send Michael Pineda to the mound on Saturday afternoon.
Alex Rodriguez decided that not going to the 2015 MLB All-Star Game was a benefit as he clubbed his 19th home run of the season Friday night in propelling the New York Yankees to a 4-3 win over the Seattle Mariners.

Big Mike looks to continue his stellar pitching recently. Over the course of his last 22.2 innings, he’s struck out 24 batters and pitched to a 1.25 ERA.
He’ll look to cool down Kyle Seager who hit two-bombs into the Bronx air Friday night.
Kyle Seager is 2nd player to have a multi-homer game off Tanaka. Read more on that and other milestones in Elias Says http://t.co/pIoR0vd4ji
