New York Yankees vs. Detroit Tigers: Masahiro Tanaka vs. Matthew Boyd

For the second Friday in a row, the Yankees play a night game. This time, however, it will be televised. Thank goodness for that.

First pitch is scheduled for 6:35 PM. You can watch on YES, listen along to WFAN, or stream via MLB.tv. Go Yankees!
