It’s good to be back, and better yet to come back to a box score like last night. The Yankees go for the sweep against the Nationals, pitching Ivan Nova while Edwin Jackson is on the mound for DC. The Bombers will tie their longest winning streak since 2009 should they capture the victory today.
Lineups follow, comment away.

Any chance you are going to the game 6/27 IH???
Sadly no — you’ll be there??? I’ll be in Washington, DC. Am leaving tomorrow morning. Going to Rays-Nats tomorrow night, coming back Friday. Have a blast! And stay cool – I think that is supposed to be the one really hot day of the week!
