It's going to be a long few days, both because West Coast games always run late, and because the Yankees are sending out two substitute starters in David Phelps and Vidal Nuno, sandwiched around the struggling Hiroki Kuroda.

Facing Jered Weaver in Anaheim is a tough place for a scuffling offense to find its groove, but that's what needs to happen to turn around a 4-6 stretch.
