After splitting the first two games, the Yankees look to secure a series win over the Rockies in an afternoon contest from Coors Field. CC Sabathia takes to the hill, and will of course step into the batters box where he’s had some success. For his career, Sabathia is 25-for-105 (.238) with three homers and 14 RBIs. Sabathia also will try to continue his interleague success; in 16 starts since 2009, the 32-year-old lefty has a 2.83 ERA and 11 interleague wins, tying him with Justin Verlander for most in the majors over that time period.
