The New York Yankees have been waiting these past weeks for a change in fortune. Yesterday they got it, the pitching was stellar, and the offense demolished Baltimore’s pitching. It was probably the best two games in a row for the Yankees, this entire season. All this while the Yankees honored those that died in the 9/11 attacks, in a pregame ceremony at the Stadium. The Yankees also donned NYPD caps, honoring the New York Police and Firefighters who lost their lives responding to the attacks on the World Trade Center.
In game one, Gerrit Cole, the Yankees signed for $324 million in the offseason, showed postseason dominance on a day that the Yankees might have been taken out of postseason contention.
