Yesterday’s series opener, uh, didn’t go as planned. The Yankees pounded Marco Estrada and won 12-2. Today, Fransisco Liriano will make his return to the rotation against Michael Pineda, who’s putting together an excellent season so far.

And now, the lineups…

Francisco Liriano: 28 1/3 IP, 6.35 ERA, 9.8 H9, 1.0 HR9, 7.3 BB9, 9.5 SO9

Michael Pineda: 59 2/3 IP, 3.32 ERA, 7.5 H9, 1.7 HR9, 1.8 BB9, 10.0 SO9

Devon Travis will return to the lineup after a day off yesterday, but Russell Martin will remain on the bench with a neck injury that apparently isn’t related to the should nerve issue he struggled with earlier.
