Bronx Bomber Ball

The Yankees went to work at the beginning of this week in a series with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. The Yankees lost 2 of 3 in that series. The team finished up their second series of the week against their division rival, the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday, June 5. The Yankees took two of three from Tampa. That put their record for the week at an even 3-3.

The week didn’t go exactly as planned for the Yankees. They hosted and lost a three game set against the lowly Phillies, then traveled to Houston where they split (but easily could have won) a four game series. The Yanks finished the week 3-4 and now sit .5 games out of a crunched up AL East division.

After splitting a 4-game set with the Miami Marlins losing both in Miami but winning both in the Bronx and taking two of three games from the Detroit Tigers, the Yankees finished this week with an overall record of 4-3. Let’s take a look at some Yankees MLB and MiLB updates from this past week.

Following the weekend sweep of the Los Angeles Angels, the Yankees had an off day followed by a 2-game set with the Washington Nationals. After splitting that short series, the team had another day off before a 3-game weekend set with the Baltimore Orioles. The Yankees came up on the short side of that series winning just one game to finish with a record of 2-3 this week. Let’s dive into some Yankee MLB and MiLB notes.

As one of the hotter teams in baseball, the Yankees are enjoyed a 6-1 record this week. After dropping the season finale to the Oakland Athletics May 31, the Yankees then swept the Seattle Mariners in three games before getting a day off and sweeping the Los Angeles Angels in 3 games. With timely hitting and pretty good starting pitching, the Yankees are stepping toward more consistency as they extend their first place lead over the Rays and the rest of the AL East. Let’s take a look at the state of the team.

You may remember back on April 14 th we brought to you the first “Bronx Bomber Bulletin” stating it would become a weekly article. However, it has clearly been a long week since that last (and only) one was written but it is back! Although the team is struggling a bit, there are plenty of bright spots in addition to negatives where change is needed. With that, let’s take a look at where the Yankees stand right now.
