Just over a week ago, New York Yankees fans were complaining about how Brian Cashman didn’t trade for a pitcher. Since then, his team has responded to the fans.
The Yankees have now won nine games in a row, dating back to the day of the trade deadline. They won the final game of a two game set against Arizona, before sweeps of the Red Sox and Orioles, followed by a series opening win over the Blue Jays.
And remember, this is all with the team down many players due to injury. The streak has been led by very unlikely figures in Austin Romine and Mike Tauchman, while of course Gio Urshela and DJ LeMahieu have been doing their parts too.
