While the score only ended 2-0 and you might not have been able to tell from just the box score, last night was an exciting one in the Bronx. Yankees top prospect George Lombard Jr. debuted and made quite the first impression. With a home run for his first career MLB hit and a couple nice plays in the field, Lombard helped the team to a win over the Cardinals. Now, he and the Yankees will try it again as they go for a series victory.
Following his impressive debut, Lombard is back in the Yankees’ lineup, starting at shortstop and hitting eighth. It’s actually the exact same lineup as yesterday, with just a change on the mound. Starting tonight for the Yankees will be Will Warren. After briefly being the subject of trade rumors ahead of the deadline, Warren will get the ball, looking to build on the six shutout innings he threw against the Cubs in his last start. Warren owns a 4.14 ERA on the season after that strong outing, striking out 109 batters in 108.1 innings.
As for the Cardinals, they’ll send Andre Pallante to the mound. The 27-year-old in his fifth season is enjoying his best year in the majors thus far, owning a 3.72 ERA and surpassing 2 fWAR for the first time. A strikeout machine he is not, as he’s punched out just 86 batters in 118.2 innings, but he’s been fairly good at keeping the ball in the park with a 0.76 HR/9 and a home run to fly ball ratio under 10 percent. Monday’s destructor Alec Burleson will also be back in the lineup after starting last night on the bench.
