Garza (1-1)
Pitching matchup
NYY: LHP Andy Pettitte (3-3, 3.77 ERA)
Pettitte started and recorded a no-decision in his 400th career start on Tuesday, despite limiting the Indians to two earned runs in 6 1/3 innings and striking out a season-high six batters. His only blemish was a two-run homer to Jhonny Peralta on a sinker that did not cut quite enough, a problem Pettitte continues to fight in his bullpen sessions.
TB: RHP Matt Garza (1-1, 4.91 ERA)
Taking on the Blue Jays in his last start, Garza tossed his best game of the season. Despite battling command issues, the right-hander allowed just a run on six hits over 6 2/3 innings. Although he collected his first loss of the season, Garza still managed to lower his ERA from 6.16 to 4.91.
