Before you can start healing, you've got to stop the bleeding. The New York Yankees did just that on Monday night thanks to a human band-aid named Lance Lynn.
The Yankees limped into Chicago on Monday after a massacre of a weekend in Boston. Four games against their ancient rival. Four losses, punctuated by Sunday night's collapse in a game that stretched to nearly five hours. New York's deficit in the American League East had ballooned to 9 ½ games behind the Red Sox, and the Yankees' odds for winning the division dwindled accordingly.
