Pitching Match Up<br />
</h2>
<p>
New York: Michael Pineda (6-2, 3.32 ERA)<br />
Toronto: Nelson Liriano (2-2, 6.35 ERA)
</p>
<p>
Michael Pineda goes for the Yankees tonight and in his last start he gave up two earned runs in six innings in a 9-5 win over the Kansas City Royals. The Yankees have eight wins in his last nine starts, including three in a row where he has totaled 18 innings and has given up seven earned runs. New York has lost Pineda’s last four starts against the Blue Jays and they have lost four of his last five starts facing them in Toronto. However, he has been pitching pretty well as of late and the Yankees have won six of his last eight road starts.
</p>
<p>
Nelson Liriano gets the starting nod for the Blue Jays and his last start is one he would like to forget getting tagged up for seven runs in only two innings, but the offense bailed him out in a 8-7 win over the Cleveland Indians. The Blue Jays have won four of his last five starts and his last three overall. Previous to Liriano’s last start he had only given up six earned runs in 18 innings in four straight outings. In 11 career starts against the Yankees, including nine starts, Liriano is 3-4 with an ERA of 3.31. Toronto has won six of their last eight home games with Liriano on the hill.
