The Yankees have won a few blowouts this week, and quite a few this year, so perhaps they were due to be on the receiving end of a rout. A close game early morphed into a laugher yesterday, with some shaky defense leading to a crushing three-run homer off the bat of Spencer Steer. It’s not what you want to see, but thanks to a dominant win on Friday night, the Yankees are still in position to win another series today. We had a doozy of a matchup lined up, but the Yankees pushed back Gerrit Cole, meaning we’ll see Elmer Rodríguez against Reds ace Chase Burns. That one will go off at 1:35 p.m. EST.
On the site today, Maximo will look at the Yankees schedule, and highlight how a soft stretch on it has given the Yankees a good opportunity to whether their recent rash of injuries, while Andrew looks back on last night’s American League action, and Matt celebrates “Steady Eddie” Lopat for today’s Yankees Birthday post. And after the game, John provides a very hectic Yankees social media roundup.
