Saint Louis Visits The Bronx For The First Time In Fourteen Years As They Take On New York

New York opens their series with Saint Louis who is visiting New York for the first time in fourteen years Friday.

New York has a record of 5-4 and is coming off a series where they swept Tampa Bay Thursday. 

Aaron Hicks had a lot to do with the outcome of the game as he homered from both sides of the plate and Luis Severino struck out a career-high 11, leading the Yankees to their fourth consecutive victory Thursday, a 3-2 win that completed a series sweep of the Rays at Yankee Stadium.

Hicks accounted for all of the Yanks' scoring, homering off right-hander Matt Andriese in the first inning before slugging a go-ahead two-run shot on a hanging curveball from left-hander Xavier Cedeno in the seventh. Hicks said that he is working to adjust after a subpar first season in pinstripes. "according to http://m.yankees.mlb.com/news/article/224055758/yankees-sweep-series-from-rays-with-late-rally/

Meanwhile, Saint Louis has a record of 3-6 and is coming off an off day.  Does that give them an advantage? Will New York continue to their momentum against Saint Louis and score runs? Will New York right-hand pitcher Masahiro Tanaka who has a record of 0-1 to go along with an 11.74 earn run average bounce back and have a great start as he takes on Saint Louis? Will the New York offense be able to back up his start?  He will face Saint Louis right-hander Michael Wonka who has a record of 1-0 with a 1.50 earn run average.  "according to https://www.mlb.com/gameday/cardinals-vs-yankees/2017/04/14/490252#game_state=preview,lock_state=preview,game_tab=,game=490252
