Yankees Rays
D. LeMahieu, 2B A. Meadows, RF
A. Judge, RF B. Lowe, 2B
A. Hicks, CF R. Arozarena, LF
G. Stanton, DH J. Choi, 1B
L. Voit, 1B Y. Diaz, DH
G. Urshela, 3B J. Wendle, 3B
G. Torres, SS W. Adames, SS
B. Gardner, LF K. Kiermaier, CF
K. Higashioka, C M. Zunino, C
G. Cole, SP T. Glasnow, SP
If Glasnow is used in an opener role, it is possible Blake Snell could follow
with the hopes the Rays can get the lead and hand it to high-leverage
relievers Diego Castillo, Nick Anderson and Pete Fairbanks, who were not used
Thursday.
Cole pitched six innings in Game 1, when he allowed three runs on six hits
and got eight strikeouts in a 97-pitch outing. He is starting in his fourth
winner-take-all game. Besides last season, Cole lost Game 5 of the NLDS for
Pittsburgh against St. Louis in 2013, and he lost the 2015 NL wild-card game
for the Pirates against the Chicago Cubs.
Cash said no thought to moving struggling B. Lowe down in lineup: "None
whatsoever. Brandon is going to come up big for us. He's getting close."
