Nearly three years have passed since the Yankees and Giants last met, so what better time to reconvene than in the midst of a playoff push?
The Yankees will host the NL West-best Giants, who despite their first place digs have struggled recently, for three games in the Bronx this weekend. The Bombers still have high hopes of climbing back into the postseason picture, and while the jury is still out on whether they’ll be buyers or sellers at the trade deadline on August 1, they’ll look to capitalize on a Giants team that has lost five straight games.
