Series Preview:

After finishing up a successful 6-2 road trip with a 7-0 shutout of the Indians in game two of Monday's double header, the Yankees return the Bronx where they will greet King Felix and the rest of the Seattle Mariners.

The Yankees have been playing very well of late and currently hold 1st place in the AL East. Not only did the Bombers win while on the road, but they beat some good competition in doing so.

Losing the first game in Colorado, the came back to win the next two games against a good Rockies club. Then the Yankees took to Kansas City and swept a much improved Royals team.

And then on Monday, the Bombers came into Cleveland, were shutout by an Indians team that been very good lately, then shutout their high production offense, 7-0.

Seattle will send their ace Felix Hernandez in the series opener on Tuesday. Hernandez had always had a lot of success in the new Yankee Stadium. In his career, he's 4-1 with a 2.13 ERA and two shutouts in his five starts at the new ballpark.

Hernandez will be squaring off against the big lefty, CC Sabathia. CC hasn't pitched since Thursday in Colorado when he only threw 54 pitches and was forced to leave the game after a two hour rain delay. Sabathia should be well rested for the M's on Tuesday.

Sabathia has also pitched well in the past against the club he'll be facing. In 20 career starts, CC has posted a record of 12-4 with an ERA of 2.64.

"That's a big matchup right there," Said Hernandez, of meeting with Sabathia. "I just have to go out there and match him and do whatever we have to do to win the game."

Probable starters:

Tue: Sabathia (4-3, 3.23) vs Hernandez (5-2, 1.53)
Wed: Hughes (2-2, 4.43) vs Iwakuma (4-1, 1.74)
Thur: Pettitte (4-2, 3.83) vs Harang (1-4, 7.30)
