Yanks' bats come back to life, Tanaka strong in 9-1 victory over White Sox

By -
The Yankees headed into tonight’s game looking to bounce back from a tough 4-1 loss to the White Sox on Tuesday night. They responded by winning 9-1 to take the series against the White Sox. The Yankees won this game easily with huge hits from Aaron Judge, Chase Headley, and Starlin Castro. The Yankees end their nine-game home stand 9-1 heading into the weekend.

The Yankees started off hot with Brett Gardner hitting a leadoff double and advancing to third base on an E8. The next batter Chase Headley drove in Gardner by hitting a home run to give the Yankees an early lead.

The Bombers didn’t stop in the second inning. Aaron Judge started off the inning with an opposite field single. After Judge, Greg Bird fired a double to deep left field to move Judge to third base. The parade didn’t stop there as Austin Romine hit a single to drive in Judge to extend the Yankee lead to three. Later that inning, Ronald Torreyes drove in his team leading 11th run to make it 4-0 Yankees.

In the top of the fourth, José Abreu tallied an RBI double, his second double of the game and cut the Yankees lead to three runs. That would be the only run support Dylan Covey and the White Sox would get.

The Yankees biggest inning would be the bottom of the fifth. Jacoby Ellsbury and Matt Holliday contributed two-out singles that brought up Starlin Castro. Castro belted a three-run home run to give the Yankees a 8-1 lead. As if the White Sox’s night could get any worse, the Yankees hit back-to-back jacks as Aaron Judge followed Castro by slugging a breaking ball to left field at a career high 448 feet long.

Aaron Hicks came in to pinch-hit and hit a solo home run to extend the lead to 9-1.

Trade Market the Perfect Storm for Yankees to Acquire Starter

 UPDATE D 11/18/15 We’ve all heard it: The Yankees aren’t likely to be big spenders this offseason. Hearing this makes me chuckle as the Yankees have the dollars to field a $500 million pay roll if they wanted to, but their dedication to winning just hasn’t been there since the passing of good ole’ George. Sure little rumors have serviced here or there about them maybe pursuing Zach Greinke who has recently opted out of his contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, but that move reeks of the move CC Sabathia pulled in opting out of his contract with the Yankees a few years back to simply restructure his contract and make a better payday.   However, instances like CC Sabathia and Masahiro Tanaka are why I believe the Yankees aren’t going to shell out big money and a long term contract for a big name starter this year. There are simply too many factors that could explode in the Pinstripes’ face when giving a long contract to a starter as evidenced by Sabathia’s fall from g...

Pride, Passion and Pinstripes: The greatest Yankees to ever touch the field

No team in baseball history has a story quite like the Yankees. 27 times they’ve found baseball Nirvana which is 16 more than the next closest team (Cardinals). 40 times have the Yankees won the American League, and that is also a major league record. The franchise won four straight championships from 1936-1939 and five straight from 1949-1953, a task no other team has ever accomplished. With all this sustained success, the team has seen some of the greatest players in league history proudly call the Bronx home. Together the Yankees could field multiple All-Star teams with their collective legends, but in this article, I’m going to try and put together a team of legends that I think would be absolutely unbeatable.   Photo Credit: Creative Commons
