Yankees win series finale winning first series in Camden Yards since 2013

By -
The Yankees looked to win this series in game three against the Baltimore Orioles, in Baltimore, for the first time since 2013. That is exactly what they did on a day in which this game was rescheduled from yesterday’s rainout.  Not only did they receive a beautiful start from the right hander Sonny Gray, they also continued their scoring ways with another road game in which they’ve scored six or more runs en route to a big 9-1 victory.

The scoring in this game was early and often. Brett Gardner led off the game with a double, and was soon driven in by Didi Gregorius. Then, right after Gregorius, Aaron Judge follows him up with a 2-run homerun to center field, the 39th of his rookie campaign, making it 3-0 through half an inning. It wouldn’t take long for the Yankees to continue their scoring output by scoring two runs in the top of third thanks to an RBI single off the bat of Matt Holliday, and an RBI ground out thanks to the ever so hot Jacoby Ellsbury, making the score 5-0.

The scorching hot Chase Headley hit a 2-run homerun to right field in the top of the fourth inning, making it 7-0 Yankees. This was the Yankees second homer of the day and 200th of the season, but the homer barrage continued later on thanks to Starlin Castro and Todd Frazier who also tallied solo home-runs.

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
