Starting off
Turnbull got four strikeouts Steve Wilkerson (looking, fastball), Adley Rutschman (swinging, fastball), Yolmer Sanchez (swinging, changeup) and, with runners on first and second in the fourth inning, Rutschman again with a 95.5 mph fastball. He got help in the third from Robbie Grossman, who threw out Ryan McKenna trying to score on Austin Wynns single to right field. Turnbull got eight swings-and-misses and 10 called strikes. His four-seam fastball recorded four whiffs and seven called strikes, and his two-seamer reached 96.4 mph. He used three curveballs and three changeups. The lone run allowed by Turnbull came on a ground-rule double from Ramos Urias in the fourth inning.

LAKELAND, Fla. Over his 13-year career, Brett Gardner has played a grand total of 1,548 games during the regular season in a Yankees uniform. Only
one of those games featured an appearance in right field.
That s why it was a bit surprising to see Gardner s name penciled in as the starting right fielder on Friday. After all, it s been close to six years since Gardner s lone start in right (back on April 23, 2014).
It was enough of an anomaly that the Tigers home television broadcast mistakenly placed LF next to Gardner s name in their starting lineup graphic.
When the 37-year-old re-signed with New York this offseason, the understanding was that he would be returning in a role he s never had before in pinstripes. With Aaron Judge and Aaron Hicks both healthy, and Clint Frazier moving forward as the starting left fielder, Gardner is poised to be relegated to the bench.

The Yankees are in Lakeland today to take on the Tigers. If this sounds familiar, it’s because this same exact matchup happened on Tuesday in the same setting.
This time though, the Yankees will be pitching Jameson Taillon rather than Deivi García. After he throws a few innings, Aaron Boone will cobble together the rest of the game from the following bunch that traveled to Joker Marchant: Albert Abreu, Kyle Barraclough, Nestor Cortes Jr., Nick Goody, Brooks Kriske, Tyler Lyons, Reggie McClain, and Addison Russ.
