Whereas Tuesday’s baseball slate featured almost exclusively night games, we got a slew of matinees or at least late-afternoon/early-evening matchups yesterday. That makes nights a little more restful, so your friendly neighborhood Yankees blogger appreciates it! And isn’t that the most important thing in the world?
Anyway, onto the Rivalry Roundup, which is at least a teensy bit more interesting today with the Yankees now back over .500 and 6.5 games back in the Wild Card. They’re still not making it, but I won’t stop anyone from dreaming!
Wild Card Mix
Oakland Athletics (43-97) 5, Toronto Blue Jays (77-63) 2
It’s hard to sweep any team in their own ballpark, even ones that might lose 110 games.
