After starting the season 1-4, the Yankees have now won nine of their last 10 games, outscoring their opponents 59-27 over this stretch.

The Pirates went 3-7 in home interleague games last season. It was the first time since 2010 (2-4) that they had a losing record in their home games versus AL opponents.

Chase Headley has a .457 batting average on balls in play this month, which is a huge improvement over the .191 BABIP he posted in April 2016.

CC Sabathia has 26 wins in interleague play, which is fourth most in MLB history. He defeated St. Louis on April 15, holding the Cardinals to one run and three hits in 7.1 innings of work.

This will be Tyler Glasnow's 10th career MLB appearance, and his seventh start. He is still looking for his first career MLB victory. He has struggled with his control, averaging 6.0 BB/9 IP in his career, including 9.5 (7/6.2)/9 IP in 2017.

PITTSBURGH -- One of the bright spots of the 2016 season for the Pittsburgh Pirates was the acquisition of starting pitcher Ivan Nova.
Nova came over from the New York Yankees in exchange for two minor leaguers on Aug. 1 and had an immediate career renaissance with the Pirates.

Nova faces former team for first time when Pirates meet Yankees

PITTSBURGH (AP)  Ivan Nova spent more than six years with the New York Yankees, fluctuating between good and not-so good as they waited for him to develop consistency to go with his occasionally top-end-of-the-rotation stuff.
It never happened and the Yankees moved on last summer, sending Nova to the Pittsburgh Pirates at the trade deadline.
