After splitting in Baltimore, the Yankees get a much tougher opponent, a challenge with which they seem to thrive. The Bombers swept the Indians in May, but it was a close series and Cleveland is no longer a complete zero at the plate, scoring 19 runs on Wednesday night.
The Last Time They Met
As I mentioned, that the May 4-6 sweep was closer than most sweeps. Two walk-off wins and a victory that came from just one big inning. Still, it was a big part of the Yankees 17 wins out of 18 stretch in April/May.
