Angels-Yankees rained out Tuesday; twin bill Wednesday

August 6th, 2024

NEW YORK – Tuesday’s game between the Yankees and Angels has been postponed because of inclement weather.

The game will be made up as part of a single-admission doubleheader on Wednesday, which will begin at 4:05 p.m. ET. Yankees right-hander will pitch the first game for New York, while right-hander – the No. 7 prospect in the Yankees organization according to MLB Pipeline – will be recalled as the 27th man and take the mound in the second game.

Gil has been the Yankees’ best pitcher, going 11-5 with a 3.20 ERA in 21 starts. He's been sharp over his last four starts, posting a 2.35 ERA and .212 opponents' average in 23 innings.

Warren made his Major League debut on July 30 during a 7-6 victory over the Phillies. He allowed four runs in 5 1/3 innings with a no-decision and left a good impression on Yankees manager Aaron Boone.

“He was a little wound-up early, but pitching against that lineup in Philly felt like a big game,” Boone said. “He walks in with a lot of confidence, stuff to back it up. Even after getting punched in the mouth [after allowing a three-run homer to Austin Hays], man, he clamped down and got even better and finished the night strong and set himself up for a win. He has been throwing the ball well for a month or two.”

The second game of Wednesday's doubleheader will start no earlier than 7:05 p.m. If the first game ends later than 6:35 p.m., Game 2 would start approximately 30 minutes after the end of Game 1. Tickets for Tuesday's game will not be valid for the Wednesday, Aug. 7, single-admission doubleheader. On Wednesday, all Yankee Stadium gates will open to fans with valid tickets at 3:00 p.m., at which time distribution will begin for the Aug. 7 scheduled promotional item (Yankees Bucket Hat presented by Benjamin Moore to the 1st 18,000 Guests in attendance).

Fans with paid tickets for Tuesday's game may exchange them for tickets to a similar regular season game at Yankee Stadium (subject to availability) as described in the Yankees’ rain check policy, which may be found at www.yankees.com/raincheck.
