Joba to make first career start Tuesday in the Bronx

The Yankees have made a decision regarding reliever turned starting pitcher Joba Chamberlain.  He will make his first career start Tuesday when the Yankees come home to the Bronx to face the Blue Jays.  

Manager Joe Girardi told WFAN's Mike and the Mad Dog that the Yankees are expecting Joba to pitch about five innings, and throw no more than 70 pitches. 

Andy Pettitte will make the start Monday night in the finale against the Twins in Minneapolis.
