The big story coming out of yesterday’s New York Yankees victory was the spectacular Mothers Day show put on by Michael Pineda, as he struck out an incredible 16 Baltimore Orioles in a 6-2 win.
However, it was no secret coming into the year that Pineda was going to be awesome if he stayed on the mound, so what he’s done is really no surprise. Perhaps a bigger deal yesterday — and so far through 10 days of May — is that Carlos Beltran might not be dead after all.
Beltran almost homered in his first two at-bats yesterday when his first inning hit was only a few feet from going over the fence.
