00:00the yankees and the guardians today in cleveland the yanks take three or four over the weekend
00:04in tampa cleveland sweeping the pirates they've won nine of their last 12 what's your play today
00:10for the matchup in the land between the pinstripes and the guardians let's go to the yankee side of
00:16things clark schmidt is on the mound for them but let's take him under four and a half strikeouts
00:21he only made his first start of the season last week and last year was a solid 26 strikeout rate
