Yankees Look For Another Big Win Over The Blue Jays [PREVIEW]

A day after playing the role of hero can Carlos Beltran do it again? I have made no secret that I feel Beltran's best years are behind him but he certainly proved me wrong last night when he crushed an 8th inning offering from Aaron Sanchez 430 feet with Chase Headley and Brian McCann aboard.

Ivan Nova was big as he finished seven innings giving the Yankees bullpen some needed rest. Can Masahiro Tanaka be equally good if not better today and who will be the hero for the Yankees today? I'd like to see youngster Greg Bird who is getting his second start at first be the hero today and maybe the Yankees can expand their half game lead over the Blue Jays.

New York Yankees:

Masahiro Tanaka (8-5 , 3.79 ERA)

1. Jacoby Ellsbury (L) CF

2. Brett Gardner (L) LF

3. Carlos Beltran (S) RF

4. Mark Teixeira (S) DH

5. Chase Headley (S) 3B

6. Greg Bird (L) 1B

7. Didi Gregorius (L) SS
