Stanton grand slam powers Yankees to series sweep over White Sox

By -

The waters have settled for the Yankees after the Bombers had their very own Boston Massacre over the weekend. The Yankees have recovered from their four game sweep, at the hands of their Yankee killers dressed in red, with a sweep of their own at the detriment of the Chicago White Sox. Game three of the set had Luis Severino facing off against Lucas Giolito.

Sevy had a rough first frame as Yolmer Sanchez got on base with a single on the first pitch he saw. In the following at-bat, Jose Abreu doubled to score Sanchez. Daniel Palka then singled in Sanchez, suddenly, the Yankees were down 2-0, and it was only the first inning.

The offense, however, decided that they would have Severino’s back, and followed that up with SIX (6!) runs in the top of the second inning, which he would pay them back for. The inning began with a four pitch walk to Gleyber Torres. After a Miguel Andujar strikeout, Neil Walker hit a one-out single. With runners on first and second, Austin Romine squeezed a single by Tim Anderson to score Torres and bring the Yankees to within one. Shane Robinson then contributed with an RBI single to score Walker. After Gardner got hit by a pitch to load the bases, Stanton worked himself a 3-0 count to begin his at-bat. Stanton, with the green light, fouled off two fastballs, and proceeded to laser a third straight fastball over the right field wall.

Luis Severino thanked his offense by beginning to look like himself the rest of the night, going seven innings and only having one more blemish, a solo home run in the bottom of the fifth inning to Tim Anderson. Sevy’s final line was: 7 innings, 7 hits, 3 earned runs, 8 strikeouts, and 0 walks.

Aaron Hicks also hit a solo homerun in the fifth inning, giving the Yankees their seventh and final run, as they finish their first sweep since their three game sweep of the Mariners from June 19th -June 21st with a 7-3 win.

What’s next?
The Yankees return to the Bronx to begin a four-game set with the Texas Rangers as the Bombers look to continue their resurgence, and attempt what seems impossible, erase their nine-game deficit over the next two months. Tomorrow, J.A. Happ will make his second start in pinstripes against Ariel Jurado.

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
