1998 Yankees Diary, May 26: Late rally secures southside series

It feels a bit like stating the obvious throughout this series, but the Yankees were rolling headed into their May 26th matchup with the White Sox. They had just beaten them 12-0 the night prior, scored double-digit runs in three straight, and had won eight of their last nine. Turns out, this was a good team. They sent out a 25-year-old Andy Pettitte to the bump to square off with Jim Parque and the Sox’ lineup. This game was not the blowout the Yankees had briefly become accustomed to, but a late rally allowed the good times to roll on.
