As improbable as it seems, something wonderful is happening with the Yankees right now.

Just 24 days after they seemingly ran up the white flag to the season, a kiddie corps led by catching phenom Gary Sanchez and, most recently, by 23-year-old third baseman Ronald Torreyes has set the lineup a-vibrating.

And by doing just that, the children have led the adults into a position where this weekend’s three-game homestand with the Orioles actually has serious wild card implications.

Oh, there will still be plenty of work to do.
