Yankees stars, Knicks great come out for Game 1 at the Garden
Forget the Met Gala. Round 2 at the Garden will draw a crowd of die-hard Knicks fans. Yankees stars past and present, including Giancarlo Stanton, Nestor Cortez and Gleyber Torres, showed their support and spent their day off cheering on the Orange and Blue in Game 1 of the Knicks vs. rival Pacers series. Ta. […]
Yankees’ win over Tigers called after 56-minute rain delay
They played 7¹/₂ innings in the Bronx in the rain. But after the top of the 8th inning, it was decided enough was enough. The game was stopped and called 56 minutes late. “The last two innings were pretty bad,” manager Aaron Boone said after the Yankees’ 5-2 rain-shortened victory at Stadium. “There was a […]
Nestor Cortes praises Yankees fans as home dominance continues
There are two versions of Nestor Cortés. An unstable version on the road and a brilliant version at home. On the road, Cortez allowed more hits (26) than innings pitched (20) and posted an impressive 6.75 ERA. At home, he pitched seven innings in all four games, allowing just 16 hits (four extra base hits) […]
Yankees likely still aren’t even at their best
Juan Soto and run prevention have been staples for the Yankees this season, and they did that again Sunday. Nestor Cortez was a familiar face, and he was great at Yankee Stadium. Soto once again showed his fortitude in the clutch. And on a brutal day for baseball, the Yankees defeated the Tigers 5-2, but […]
Juan Soto’s double, Nestor Cortes’ gem give Yankees sweep of Tigers
There was a rally late Friday night. On Saturday, the offense exploded from the beginning. And he had a strong performance against the Elite Aces on Sunday. The Yankees entered the weekend struggling after a humiliating series loss to the rival Orioles, but were on a roll, led by a previously dormant offensive line that […]
Juan Soto is a perfect Yankees fit with contract decision looming
Juan Soto is a near-perfect Yankee, talented and tough, not to mention 25 years old. He gets on base at an astonishing rate, hits major home runs, and sometimes carries a signature club on his back. Soto does and says everything right, and he always says it with a smile. Unless he’s as good an […]
Anthony Rizzo delivers again as Yankees beat Tigers again
In one inning and just one swing on Saturday, the Yankees scored more runs than they had in nearly all of their games in a week. A day after his heroics with a walk-off single in the bottom of the ninth inning, Anthony Rizzo hit a three-run homer to cap off a four-run game and […]
Yankees’ Aaron Judge gets ejected for first time in career after ‘bulls–t’ call
For the first time in a generation, the New York Yankees captain was ejected from a game. Aaron Judge spiked the ball in the bottom of the seventh inning of Saturday’s Yankees-Tigers game after claiming a called strike three. This was Judge’s first ejection since entering the big leagues in 2016, considering no player in […]
Yankees still not ‘overly concerned’ with Aaron Judge’s slow start
Like everyone else, the Yankees are still waiting for Aaron Judge to be Aaron Judge. He was hitting just .197 entering Friday night with a very un-Judge-like OPS of .725. Just when he looked like he was about to break out recently, hitting three home runs in five games, including homers in back-to-back games in […]
Yankees’ bats come to life in ninth inning for walk-off win over Tigers
Just when it looked like the Yankees had batted in Milwaukee, they came back to life Friday by scoring two runs in the bottom of the ninth inning to beat the Tigers 2-1 in the Bronx. The Yankees, after a mostly silent series in Baltimore, scoring just six points in four games, were then completely […]
