PRE-GAME via The Fan WFNZ 102.5FM Home of the Speed
We're trying to avoid our second sweep in a row and sixth loss in a row. Hunter Renfroe is back in the lineup for us tonight. We have Zastryzny on the mound tonight who's carrying a low ERA. Snapping this losing streak is a must, and losing at home needs to stop.

Joe Girardi was frustrated at his team's play today during the press conference. Losing six-straight after coming from the New York Yankees will do that to anyone. When asked about Renfroe, he was happy he and Segedin came through with 2 hits each tonight, but it wasn't enough.
