When the New York Yankees officially welcome in the Cleveland Indians for Game 3 of the ALDS, their playoff lives will be on the line.
- New York Yankees (0-2)
- Cleveland Browns (2-0)
- ALDS, Game 3, Sunday, Oct. 8, 2017, 7:38 p.m. ET, FS1
- Yankee Stadium, Bronx, New York
It’s officially on. When the New York Yankees and Cleveland Indians get underway in the Bronx on Sunday night for Game 3 of the ALDS, there will be no more tomorrow for the home team.
Down 2-0 to arguably the best team in baseball, Joe Girardi will send Masahiro Tanaka to the mound.
Of course, everybody understands what the Yanks are now facing after seeing a comfortable 8-3 victory in Game 2 turn into a 9-8 extra-inning nightmare. The only thing compounding the horrid dream is the club actually got to and smacked around Cy Young Award winner Corey Kluber.
Where to Watch: FS1
First Pitch: 7:38 p.m. ET from the Bronx
Starting Pitchers:
- Yankees: Masahiro Tanaka (13-12, 4.74)
- Tribe: Carlos Carrasco (18-6, 3.29)
Should the Bombers find a way in this one, ace Luis Severino will go in Game 4 on Monday night.
Yankees ALDS Game 3 lineup:
