Not exactly by design, this Yankees team has had ample experience playing tightly contested games. No American League club has played in more games decided by two runs or fewer this season, and depending on your viewpoint, that could be a blessing or a curse as New York eyes the postseason.
After New York scuffled for nine innings against the league’s weakest pitching staff, DJ LeMahieu stroked a game-tying hit in the 10th inning and Giancarlo Stanton delivered the deciding RBI single in the 11th, lifting the Bombers to a 4-3 victory over the Orioles on Friday evening at Yankee Stadium.
