"New York rallied for four runs in the bottom of the eighth last night to take the opener, 5-3. Ahmed Rosario cracked a couple home runs - a solo shot in the second and a three-run bomb in the eighth to propel the Yankees to their eighth win of the season."
"Warren has shown improved poise early in the season, inducing weaker contact than he did during his rookie year. New York is hoping the sophomore can give them at least six innings on another cold night in the Big Apple."
"The bottom four spots in the order have been, in a word, bad. They are hitting just .143 with an OPS of .404. That ranks last in all of baseball...and yet the Yankees are 8-2."
"Collectively, the Athletics are hitting .224 and have struck out 112 times in 335 ABs."
The Yankees face the Athletics in the Bronx, with Will Warren pitching for New York against Luis Severino. New York won the opener 5-3, highlighted by Ahmed Rosario's two home runs. Warren has shown improvement, while Severino seeks redemption against his former team. The Yankees' top order is performing well, but the bottom half struggles significantly. The Athletics also need to improve their offense, currently hitting .224. Cold weather may impact scoring in the game.
