The Yankees will look to rebound this week after dropping another series over the weekend, this one to the division leading Red Sox. The Yankees will host the Cleveland Indians for three games before heading to Seattle for four games to finish out the week.
This trip to Seattle will be the start of a 10 day road trip for the bombers, who will go to Oakland and Anaheim after Seattle. The Yankees will certainly be tested by the Indians who have played great ball recently on their way to only trailing the Detroit Tigers by a half game for their division lead.
The Yankees have won three out of the four games they’ve played with Cleveland this year, including a doubleheader split just a few weeks ago. The Yankees lost two out of three to Seattle in the Bronx back in mid May. Here are the pitching matchups for the week.
