Rays Ready to Dethrone Yankees: Will Their Sting Defense Hold?
Coming into this season, the expectation had to be that the Yankees’ offense would take a step back. I suppose that happens when you lose a generational talent like Juan Soto. They did⦠I don’t know, upgrade, maybe(?) with Paul Goldschmidt taking first base from Anthony Rizzo. They also now get a full year of Jazz Chisholm on the roster. Those are things that matter and can at least make the loss of Soto a bit more manageable. They invested in Max Fried who has looked great, but they lost Gerrit Cole for the year. Lots of ups and downs for the Bronx Bombers. To this point, they still have a winning record, and the offense has been really good. Even the pitching has been pretty reliable considering all the injury issues. Will Warren is taking the hill for the Yankees tonight. He is 1-0 with a 5.14 ERA and a 1.14 WHIP. He has allowed runs in each of his starts, but only one, a game against the Pirates, was a bit ugly. What stands out the most to me is that he has allowed just three hits combined in two starts, and six hits in the other. He has never faced the Rays.
