--

After salvaging one win in their series with the Twins, the Indians embark on a two-city road trip. Their first stop is New York, and they'll be facing a team who is in quite the unusual circumstance. The Yankees for the first time in several decades were sellers at the trading deadline, and are punting on the 2016 campaign. The Yankees traded Carlos Beltran, Ivan Nova, Aroldis Chapman, and of course Andrew Miller, so the club the Indians face tonight will be markedly different than the one they faced the weekend before the All-Star Break, particularly if the game is close at the end.
