The Yankees’ offense is back like it never left — but it definitely, definitely did for a while. They accomplished their goal twofold in the brief West Coast swing to Oakland, both winning the series and firing up the bats after a cold spell. Several previously struggling Yankees hit their stride in the series, Anthony Volpe most notably among them.
After a dismal 2-1 loss in the opener, hope was running a little low. The worst pitching staff in baseball holding the Yankees to one run felt like rock bottom, and it was. Closing the series with back-to-back games scoring double-digit runs was a sight for sore eyes and bodes well.
