Fresh off a three-game sweep of the Royals, the Yankees are in Cleveland for a doubleheader; two games were washed away by rain last month. The Yankees have won five straight, while the Indians have won six of seven. David Phelps gets the start in game one against Justin Masterson – Vidal Nuno in game two against Trevor Bauer. The Yankees won’t have another off-day until May 23, so manager Joe Girardi has to be careful about resting players. Expect Robinson Cano, Vernon Wells and Chris Stewart to appear in just one game today. The second game will start right after game one ends.
