Game Context & Stakes
The Yankees are trying to halt a four-game road losing streak, having dropped the series opener 6–1 despite an early Aaron Judge homer. New York has scored three or fewer runs in eight of its last 11 games, going 3–8 in that stretch.
The Reds, meanwhile, are trending upward, winning six of their last nine and riding the momentum of Elly De La Cruz’s near-cycle performance in Monday’s win. With both teams in the thick of their respective playoff races, this game carries weight beyond the box score.
Probable Starting Pitchers
New York Yankees – Carlos Rodón (LHP)
- Record: 9–5
- ERA: 3.10
- WHIP: 0.98
- Strikeouts: 114
- Scouting Report: Rodón has been dominant on the road (2.93 ERA in 7 starts) and owns a 30% strikeout rate. He’ll look to neutralize a Reds lineup that’s slugging .429 at home.
Cincinnati Reds – Chase Burns (RHP)
- MLB Debut
- Minor League Stats: 1.77 ERA, 0.94 WHIP, 12.4 K/9
