Even without Anthony Rizzo and Harrison Bader, the Yankees’ offense continues to click. They’ve now scored 30 runs across the last three games, with Anthony Volpe, Aaron Judge, and Greg Allen leaving the yard on this particular night and Isiah Kiner-Falefa staying locked-in with four hits and four RBI. Nestor Cortes was sharp through the first four and serviceable enough in the fifth to put the Yankees on track for an eventual 10-2 victory.
The Yankees hitters came with a clear plan to make Logan Gilbert work. The at-bat quality was on display in the first inning.
