New York Yankees vs Washington Nationals Live Stream: How to Watch MLB

The Washington Nationals host the New York Yankees looking to avoid the season-series sweep on Sunday.

The New York Yankees go for the series sweep against the Washington Nationals in the finale on Sunday. While Jay Z sells out shows at Yankee Stadium this weekend, the Yankees also look to keep it rolling on the road as they go for their fourth straight victory. Things weren’t going great for New York before this recent run. The Yankees had lost four of their previous five games and had lost 11 of 13. New York fell out of first place in the AL East in the process, and are still four games back of the Tampa Bay Rays for the top spot. New York is still in a good spot with a 53-42 record and a 30-22 mark on the road. The Nationals have fallen back to .500 after back-to-back losses to the Yankees. Washington is trying to avoid losing four of its last five games today. The Nationals are now 48-48 with a 20-30 mark at Nationals Park. Washington is seven games back of the Atlanta Braves for first in the NL East. Even if the Nationals were average at home, they’d be easily competing for the division crown. The Yankees are the very slight -114 favorite to earn this sweep today. They will start righty Will Warren in the finale today, who is 7-4 with a 4.15 ERA in 93.1 innings. The Nationals will try to avoid the sweep by starting Cade Cavalli. The righty is 5-4 with a 3.88 ERA in 92.2 innings.

The Yankees won Game 2 and the only series of the season against the Nationals, 4-2, on Saturday. Things started off great for Washington, and it looked well on its way to tying this series for most of the game. James Wood and Curtis Mead both hit solo shots in the bottom of the first to give the Nationals an early lead. Unfortunately for Washington, it couldn’t score the rest of the game. The Yankees couldn’t get on the board until the eighth inning, but when they did, they made it count. Trent Grisham hit a two-run homer in the inning to help New York complete the rally. Ryan McMahon and Paul Goldschmidt also hit solo shots to earn some insurance. It was the second time the Yankees came back against the Nationals in some late-innings heroics. Jazz Chisholm Jr. hit a two-run homer to fuel a three-run ninth inning to come back in the opener on Friday.
