Fireballers Cam Schlittler and Shane Smith squared off as the Yankees went for their season-high seventh win in a row.

Schlittler is also coming…
Will Warren is the starting pitcher for the New York Yankees as the Yankees try to take advantage of the weak Chicago White Sox. A win would extend their winning streak to five. They were able to do that with a 10-4 win. Warren pitched poorly for the Yankees, surrendering a grand slam in the…
The Chicago White Sox are bad. This series against the Chicago White Sox presents the Yankees with an opportunity to win four games. They won three against the Washington Nationals.
