In what's been the first sign of the New York Yankees snapping out of their two-and-a-half month malaise, they swept the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday, and did it without their hottest hitter for the entire series.
Giancarlo Stanton has been taking longer than expected to "recover" from playing defense in three straight games against the Minnesota Twins. He logged one at-bat this weekend. The Yanks were also without Cody Bellinger on Saturday, but managed to score 12 runs in a comeback win.
On Sunday, they did it again. After digging themselves in a hole and coughing up the lead because of two errors, the Yankees' offense turned it on and scored five unanswered runs to win 8-4.
