This version of the Yankees continues to surprise. The replacement-level lineup hammered out six runs, and the pitching held on just long enough to secure the win. That’s two in a row and 10 of their last 12.
Winner of the Game
Earlier today at the Pinstripe Alley offices, we wondered if Gary Sanchez could have used a few more rehab games. I said he’ll shake off the rust, and goodness, did he do that. With the bases loaded in the top of the fifth inning, Sanchez crushed a grand slam to bust the game open.
