The Yankees finally fight their way back to .500 baseball with a sweep of the Tampa Bay Rays. However the Yankees 6-6 record will be in jeopardy when they face the scorching hot Detroit Tigers. The Tigers currently have the best record in all of baseball at 10 and 2.

Tonight it will fall to CC Sabathia to quiet the Tigers bats. Can CC give the Yankees 6 or 7 solid innings and hopefully hold the Tigers to four or less runs. If he can the Yankees wwill have a chance at a winning record. If not this game could be over early.
