After going 2-2 during a rain shortened road trip, the Yankees are back home against the Miami Marlins where they routed them very easily 12-1 at the Stadium.

With a rare two-day hiatus from baseball thanks to Mother Nature, the Yanks came out firing early, and often, scoring 11 runs in the first five innings. With ace Luis Severino on the mound for the Yanks they piled on the runs, scoring two in the first inning from an RBI single off the bat of the rather hot Gary Sanchez, and then a bases loaded walk by Tyler Austin later in the inning.

With two outs in the bottom of the second, Aaron Judge became the quickest man to 60 career home runs in major league history after hitting a solo-shot to right center, his fourth of the season. In the bottom of the third, Aaron Hicks ripped a two-run double into the left-centerfield gap, extending the lead to 5-0.

In the fourth inning, Sir Didi Gregorius lined one into the right field seats for a two-run home run to extend the lead to 7-0.

The fifth inning is where the Yankees really piled it on, with Miguel Andujar, Judge and Sanchez driving in four runs.

To cap it off, Gregorius hit another home run in the bottom of the seventh inning, a solo- shot, to extend the lead to 12-0. This was his second multi-homer game of the season, and the sixth overall by the Yankees on this young season.

The Marlins ended the shutout with one out in the top of the eighth from a Justin Bour RBI groundout.

The Yankees did not need to score 12 to get a win for Severino as he was dominant from the get go. He went six shutout innings, giving up only on hit and striking out 8 on 86 pitches; a complete bounce back after a poor start against the Red Sox in Fenway.

Looking ahead to Tuesday night and game two of this two game series against the Marlins. The Yankees send Masahiro Tanaka (2-1, 5.19 ERA) to the mound against Miami’s Jarlin Garcia (0-0, 1.13 ERA) with first pitch set to be at 6:35 PM EST. You can watch the game on YES.

Winning Pitcher: Luis Severino (3-1, 2.63 ERA): 6.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, BB, 8 K
Losing Pitcher: Caleb Smith (0-2, 6.89 ERA) :2.1 IP, 5 H, 5 ER, 5 BB, 3 K

Notables:
Aaron Judge: 2-4, 2 R, HR (4), BB
Didi Gregorius: 2-4, 3 R, 2 HR (4,5), 3 RBI
Gary Sanchez: 3-4, R, 3 RBI
Miguel Andujar: 2-4, 2B, RBI, R

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
