Yankees taking on water as struggles mount in Subway Series
When the rain came, it was a downpour at Citi Field. Such is life for the Yankees these days. Alas, Wednesday’s game was also delayed in the fifth inning by the worst storm the ballpark has seen in nearly 40 years. The rain was so hard you couldn’t see the outfield fence from the press […]
Mets demolish Yankees to complete two-game Subway Series sweep
The skies opened up in the bottom of the fifth inning, and shortly after Francisco Alvarez’s RBI double, the rain, although not drizzling, turned into a torrential downpour that led to the game being halted after 87 minutes of heavy rain. It was a fitting match on a night when the Mets thundered and the […]
Yankees’ Luis Gill rocked by Mets in second-straight concerning outing
What Yankees pitching coach Matt Blake deemed a “momentary concern” for Luis Gil following last week’s game against the Orioles may not be so simple. The Yankees’ incredible performance couldn’t contain the Mets’ hot batting lineup, and the Bombers were soundly defeated in a two-game Subway Series at Citi Field, winning 12-2. Gill pitched 4 […]
Yankees’ Scott Effross getting closer to return after multiple surgeries
Reinforcements to help the Yankees’ thin bullpen are (literally) on the way. Scott Efros’ rehab assignment has been moved from Low-A Tampa to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and he was scheduled to make his third minor league appearance on Wednesday night. In his first two games with Tampa, the right-hander pitched three scoreless innings, allowing one hit […]
Gleyber Torres out of Yankees’ lineup vs. Mets amid awful slump
Gleyber Torres, who has been in particularly poor form throughout this season, is taking a rest day. The Yankees’ starting second baseman was left out of the lineup for Wednesday’s Subway Series finale at Citi Field, with Oswaldo Cabrera starting at second base and DJ LeMahieu starting at third base. Torres has just two hits […]
Gleyber Torres’ brutal Yankees day prompts meeting with Aaron Boone
After a poor showing in virtually every aspect of this season, Gleyber Torres accepted responsibility in a brief interview with the media. He could have left the visitors’ clubhouse at Citi Field and been on his way home before the distraction hit. Manager Aaron Boone asked to talk to him. The two spoke after the […]
Mashing Mets look like playoff team as Yankees’ issues fester
The Yankees have looked like the best team in baseball for a long time and still have the most wins (tied with the Phillies), while the Mets still hold a losing record after failing to beat a team like the Marlins six weeks ago. But, at least for now, it’s fair to wonder where the […]
Yankees’ Aaron Judge turned ugly defeat into tight loss
A night that was mostly a failure overall for the Yankees was made almost ridiculous by Aaron Judge. The end result was a 9-7 loss to the Mets on Tuesday night at Citi Field, but Judge closed it out with a grand slam in the eighth inning for his 29th career home run and 81st […]
Mets survive late Yankees’ rally to win Subway Series opener
The Mets removed two key players from their active roster on Tuesday and then added some new faces to a team that has recently shown explosive offense. Just to add to this, they took on their city rivals and their ace. Either Gerrit Cole is still in bad shape or the Mets are just swinging […]
J.D. Davis cannot get over ‘surreal’ chance to play with Yankees
J.D. Davis was out of work for a few days, but when he bounced back he was back in the running and on a bigger stage. The Yankees acquired Davis from the last-place Athletics on Sunday to bolster their faltering core, but he arrived at Citi Field on Tuesday as part of the first-place team […]
