The New York Yankees have won five games in a row and seven of their last eight. They are leading the Wild Card picture by 1.5 games and are trailing the Toronto Blue Jays by only four games for first place in the AL East. While their Wednesday night triumph over the Tampa Bay Rays probably should have been easier, a win is a win.
This one started off with Cam Schlittler taking a perfect game into the seventh inning. Unfortunately, he ran into trouble by surrendering a leadoff single and then walking two more batters before Aaron Boone had to call on Luke Weaver.
