Chris Young (0-0) has been hit and miss in his return back to baseball after dealing with shoulder injuries in 2013. The big right-hander is yet to appear in the win column but will aim to do so Tuesday as the Mariners battle CC Sabathia (3-2) and the Yankees. Young's ERA has climbed to 3.50 after not allowing a run in his first two appearances on the year. Young was knocked out in the 3rd inning two starts ago in Miami but pitched into the 7th his last time out versus the Astros.

Ichiro has faced Young the most of any New York batter, coralling 8 hits in 21 AB's (.381). As a whole the Yankees are hitting only .232 against the pitcher, who is 1-0 with a 2.32 ERA in 2 starts at Yankee Stadium.

Sabathia has bounced back with consecutive wins after dropping 2 of the first 3 starts on the season. The pitcher has allowed 2 runs or less in back to back games after giving up 4+ in each of his first three. The big lefty also refused to give up a HR for the first time of the year his last time out while lowering his ERA to 4.78.

The Yankees have provided Sabathia with 24 runs of support in the last two games but the pitcher might not need it if he pitches against Seattle as he did last year. Sabathia didn't record a win but limited the Mariners to 2 runs while recording 10 K's. The Seattle roster has just a .198 lifetime average against the pitcher and has struck out almost 1/3 of the time.
