The New York Yankees are coasting at the top of the American League East with a comfortable seven-game lead. Although it is early, the club needs to maintain its ground throughout the upcoming months.

It really is impressive what New York Yankees starting pitcher Will Warren has done on the mound in recent weeks. He tossed seven 1/3 innings of one-run ball with seven strikeouts against the Athletics on May 9,

PITCHING PROBABLES: Yankees: Will Warren (3-2, 4.09 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, 67 strikeouts); Dodgers: Landon Knack (2-2, 5.22 ERA, 1.36 WHIP, 28 strikeouts) BOTTOM LINE: The Los Angeles Dodgers host the New York Yankees looking to continue a three-game home winning streak.

Yankees starter Will Warren set another career high in strikeouts on Tuesday, sitting 10 Rangers batters down in 5.2 innings.

The New York Yankees could be changing their trade plans as a young pitcher suddenly becomes a strikeout artist.

The Dodgers and Yankees continue their weekend series on Saturday with a battle of second-year starting pitchers at Dodger Stadium. Landon Knack starts for Los Angeles, continuing his extended turn in the rotation that has lasted nearly all of May after Roki Sasaki landed on the injured list.

The Yankees (28-19) moved to a season-best nine games over .500 and won for a ninth time in their past 12, beating Aaron Boone’s brother (Bret, the Rangers hitting coach) and Mark Leiter Jr.’s cousin (Jack, a Rangers starter).

Yankees reliever Ian Hamilton continued to struggle pitching in the ninth, giving up a two-run blast to Rangers backstop Jonah Heim, but closer Luke Weaver was there to shut the door. He recorded one out to record the save, getting leadoff hitter Josh Smith to pop out to second and end the game.

The Yankees rookie posted a career-best 10 strikeouts in 5 2/3 innings in a 5-2 win over the Rangers on Tuesday.

NEW YORK – The realization hit Will Warren midway through the fourth inning, when the Rangers kept swinging and missing, the strikeouts were piling up and the PC Richards whistle was on a steady repeat over the Yankee Stadium PA system.
