At some point during the Yankees’ terrific recent run, you have to figure there was a good chance John Sterling sang a verse of “…in the merry, merry month of May”. With the Yankees taking two of three from the Kansas City Royals this past weekend, the team has now won eight straight series. That’s the first time it’s been accomplished by the franchise since 1998.
Since splitting the first 18 games of this season, the 2018 squad has won 21 of 25 (.840) A handful of the victories came as the result of fantastic finishes. Gleyber Torres, Miguel Andujar, and Neil Walker came through with game winners in late or extra innings.
