The Yankees defeated the White Sox yesterday behind some timely offense and the pitching of young Luis Severino. That was also their 9,999th franchise victory. One more win till 10,000.
Luis Severino is pretty good at pitching. Yesterday, his fantastic efforts helped the Yankees to victory, taking this four game series from the White Sox. With yesterday's win, the magic number for a pinstriped postseason berth is now at Babe Ruth. We will see down the line whom the Yankees will potentially be facing in that one game elimination match. Unless, of course, the Blue Jays decide to stop winning for a week for shits and giggles.
