Royals, Yankees lineups for ALDS Game 2

It’s Cole Ragans day!

The Royals will look to bounce back from a close 6-5 loss in Game 1 with one of the best pitchers on the mound, Cole Ragans. Ragans allowed just two runs and three hits in six innings last month in a start at Yankee Stadium.

Garrett Hampson gets the start in center against a lefty and Maikel Garcia leads off.

The Yankees counter with left-hander Carlos Rodón, who is 4-6 with a 4.66 against the Royals in 13 career starts. Salvador Perez is a career .462/.481/.846 hitter against him with three home runs in 27 plate appearances. The Yankees are going with speedy utility player Jon Berti at first base, his first-ever game at any professional level at that position.

Game time is at 6:38 CT tonight on TBS, truTV, and Max.
