The Yankees, who are riding a four-game win streak, will get out their brooms today as they try for the sweep against the Angels. Phil Hughes takes to the mound with hopes of continuing the recent run of success by Yankees starting pitching. On the offensive side, Alfonso Soriano comes into today’s game with 13 RBIs over his last two contests. He and the rest of his teammates will face off against lefty C.J. Wilson. After the game the Yanks will ship up to Boston to begin a huge three-game set with the first-place Red Sox. You can check out our full preview of today’s matinee here.
