Yankees slated to open against defending champs

BRONX, N.Y. β€” We have an opener! No, not Chad Green. The Opening Day matchup for the 2020 season is set. The starting pitching will be, as the kids say, lit.

According to a report in the New York Post, the New York Yankees will open the campaign against the Washington Nationals in D.C.

That means in all probability we’re going to have a duel between Gerrit Cole and Max Scherzer.

The future champs and the defending champs are expected to square off July 23 in a nationally televised prime time contest.

Assuming all goes according to plan (unlike the rest of the country that doesn’t seem to have one when it comes to containing and mitigating the COVID-19 pandemic) this game will be a welcome respite and an entertaining way to jump-start the season sprint.

It would mark the first Opening Day for the Yankees at Washington since they faced the old Washington Senators at RFK Stadium in 1969.
