Despite Sunday’s tough loss, there’s no question the Yankees are gaining steam as we approach the All Star break.
Now winners of seven of their last eight games, the team has been riding a mix of improved starting pitching and brute offensive force during the mini-streak.

The addition of Edwin Encarnacion has only increased the firepower in the Yankees lineup.
But despite this rosy outlook, there are warning signs flashing when it comes to the rotation.
