CC Sabathia will make his seventh start of the season, looking to build upon his last four starts where he has pitched into the eighth inning in all four outings. As with most of the Yankees starters, Sabathia has struggled with the long ball, allowing just over one homer per nine innings. However, he has struck out about a batter per inning and is displaying very strong command, so here's to hoping that this trend continues.
For the Rays, David Price will also make his seventh start of the year. Price has been outstanding, pitching to the tune of a 2.35 ERA and a 2.48 FIP. He sits in the mid-90s with his fastballs, and while also mix in a slider, curveball, and changeup.
Lineups:
Rays: Ben Zobrist, Sean Rodriguez, B.J. Upton, Jeff Keppinger, Brandon Guyer, Carlos Pena, Elliot Johnson, Chris Gimenez, Will Rhymes.
Yankees: Derek Jeter, Nick Swisher, Robinson Cano, Alex Rodriguez, Mark Teixeira, Curtis Granderson, Andruw Jones, Eduardo Nunez, Chris Stewart
