Bronx Bomber Ball

The Yankees 12-1 victory completed the series sweep of the Rays behind an offensive explosion and excellent start from CC Sabathia, who added another milestone to his historic career with his 250th career win. Sabathia is now the 14th pitcher in Major League history to reach 250 wins and 3,000 strikeouts, well on his way to Cooperstown.   Photo Credit: NJ.com

The Yankees came into Wednesday’s rubber match against the Padres looking for a win with James Paxton making his return from the Injured List. The Bombers’ bats came alive with seven runs on ten hits, and five shutout innings from the bullpen helped defeat the Padres 7-0 for the series win. Photo Credit: Washington Post

The New York Yankees currently own a 35-19 record and a one game lead in the battle for first place in the American League East on May 29. They have been able to achieve this success all with Aaron Judge, Didi Gregorius, Giancarlo Stanton, Luis Severino, and  Dellin Betances combining to play in only 23 games.   Photo Credit: NY Post

The Yankees looked to clinch the series win over the Mariners on Wednesday night, but ran into the buzzsaw that was Seattle LHP Yusei Kikuchi.   Jonathan Loaisiga took the mound for New York, filling in for the injured James Paxton.  Loaisiga did not have his best stuff tonight, allowing four runs and six hits in only four  innings in the 10-1 defeat.

The Yankees looked to split the two game series in Arizona following a 3-1 loss on C.C.’s historic day. Masahiro Tanaka tried to rebound from his last start in Anaheim where he allowed five earned runs in 5 2/3 innings. He only went four innings today, allowing 3 earned runs and striking out six. The Yankees’ offense was non-existent once again as they were only able to put up two runs, losing 3-2. Credit: Matt York/AP Photo

The Yankees looked to avoid the sweep following abysmal performances by the bullpen in the first two games. The Yanks fell flat in the last game of the series, with a final score of 8-6. Paxton was unable to control the Astros’ offense, as he allowed five earned runs over four innings. The offense looked completely overmatched by Astros starter Collin McHugh, who struck out nine through six innings. The Yankees’ rally late in the game was not enough to complete the comeback.

The Yankees looked to ride the offensive wave they started in Baltimore in game one of a three game set against Justin Verlander and the Astros in Houston. The offense was not the problem as the Yanks were able to force Verlander out of the game in the seventh with a 3-1 lead, but Zack Britton and Adam Ottavino coughed up the lead, with Houston eventually coming away with the victor in this one by the count of 4-3.

Clint Frazier burst onto the scene in his Major League debut on July 1st, 2017, going 2-for-4 with a double and a home run. From that moment on, Yankee fans could tell the red-haired, 22-year-old had the potential to be something special. Photo Credit: Anthony Gruppuso/USA Today Sports
