The Yankees are back on Amazon Prime for their penultimate game on the streaming service this season as they host the second game of an important three-game set versus the Tigers on Wednesday night.
All has been well for the Bronx Bombers in recent weeks after a brutal start to August that featured a five-game losing streak and a three-game sweep at the hands of the Miami Marlins.
The Yankees have won 20 of their last 29 games, which includes crucial series wins over potential future playoff opponents in the Astros and Blue Jays over the last week with New York now within two games of Toronto for the AL East lead.
Following a critical three-game series at Fenway Park against the Red Sox this upcoming weekend, the Yankees schedule down the stretch lightens up significantly. Over the course of their final 13 games in the regular season, they play the last place Orioles twice (seven total games), host the AL-worst White Sox for a three-game series in the Bronx and face the Twins in Minnesota, who are 16 games under .500 to end the year.
Yankees vs Tigers pitching probables
Carlos Rodon (16-7, 3.12 ERA) will be on the mound for the Yankees on Wednesday night. The 32-year-old southpaw has been on fire since the All-Star Break, as he’s 6-1 in his last nine starts and has gotten the win in each of his last five outings. Rodon’s currently tied with fellow Yankees’ starter Max Fried and Brewers’ ace Freddy Peralta for the most wins in baseball at 16.
The Yankees will face a familiar foe in Tigers’ starter Jack Flaherty. Going back to last season, Flaherty started Game 1 for the Dodgers in the 2024 World Series, where he pitched 5 1/3 innings, struck out six and allowed two runs against the Yankees last October. The Bronx Bombers had much more success when they saw Flaherty in the deciding Game 5 at Yankee Stadium, as he surrendered first inning home runs to Aaron Judge and Jazz Chisholm Jr. before he was chased after 1 1/3 innings where he conceded four runs on four hits.
Flaherty’s faced the Yankees once since joining the Tigers in free agency this past offseason. On Apr. 9, he threw 5 1/3 shutout innings and struck out nine on Apr. 9 in Detroit.
