Game Preview

After a brief hiatus in his home run streak and a challenging series in Washington, Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees are looking to regain momentum. Despite leading the majors with 51 home runs, Judge didn’t add to his tally in the three-game set against the Nationals, where the Yankees won one game but struggled significantly with runners in scoring position.

The Yankees, still leading the American League East, host the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday to kick off a three-game series. This marks the Cardinals’ first visit to Yankee Stadium since April 2017.

In Washington, despite racking up 27 hits, the Yankees faltered when it mattered most, managing just a 1-for-26 record with runners in scoring position. Yankees manager Aaron Boone emphasized the need to capitalize on these opportunities moving forward.

Judge recently hit his 50th and 51st homers against the Colorado Rockies, marking the third time in his career he’s reached the 50-homer milestone in a season. He looks to continue his power display as he has seven homers in his last nine games.

The Cardinals are entering this series after splitting four games with the San Diego Padres, ending on a high note with a 4-1 win. Masyn Winn stood out, batting .383 since mid-August, and continuing to impress with both his power and consistency at the plate.

Yankees’ right-hander Marcus Stroman (9-6, 3.88 ERA) will take the mound Friday, aiming for his tenth win. Stroman has a history of struggles against the Cardinals, holding a 1-6 record and a 5.30 ERA in his career starts against them.

On the Cardinals’ side, right-hander Erick Fedde (8-7, 3.31 ERA) will start. Since joining St. Louis from the Chicago White Sox at the trade deadline, Fedde has been working to find his rhythm, recording a 4.23 ERA with the team.

Both teams are navigating their respective challenges as they face off, with the Yankees trying to capitalize on their division lead and the Cardinals aiming to improve their record on this six-game road stint.
