New York Yankees vs. Kansas City Royals: Ivan Nova vs. Chris Young

Ivan Nova makes his first start of the season. Y'all have been warned.

Aroldis Chapman is in Yankees pinstripes for the first time this year as the Yanks welcome the defending World Series champions to the Bronx for a four-game series. It's not exactly a marquee matchup, as Ivan Nova gets his first start of 2016 against Chris Young. First pitch is 7:05pm.

But hey! It's Tanya's birthday. So the Yankees should win for her. It's only polite.

Go Yankees, go baseball, go Nova.
