Masihiro Tanaka makes his return to Yankees Stadium tonight. He was dominant in his first start back winning 3 -1 over Seattle. Tonight he faces Max Scherzer who depending on who you believed was almost a Yankee this off season. This should be one heck of a contest.

Bryce Harper is an offensive juggernaut batting .326 leading the league with 19 homers and an OPS of 1.170. So hopefully Mark Teixeira and the rest of the Bronx Bombers can get to Max Scherzer and support Tanaka. We'll also hope that Tanaka can show more of that amazing stuff he had in Seattle.
