The New York Yankees will try to even the score with the Cincinnati Reds tonight when they play the middle game of their 3-game set at Great American Ball Park. The Yankees fell 6-1 last night and stranded 12 base runners, which is always a recipe for losing. Tonight New York will face Chase Burns who is making his major league debut for Cincinnati. Burns is the Reds #1 prospect and was lights out in the minors but now he has to face the likes of Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, Paul Goldschmidt, and the list goes on – tough task for a rookie making his big-league debut. New York will counter with southpaw Carlos Rodón and he will keep the Reds hitters in check. Rodón is 9-5 with a 3.11 ERA and a nasty 0.98 WHIP. The Bombers have lost four straight on the road and are due for a win away from River Ave.
