The New York Yankees finally broke their seven game losing streak yesterday in a 2-1 victory over the New York Mets. The Yankees rode a very solid start from J.A. Happ and a wild pitch from Mets reliever Dellin Betances to victory.
One player who didn’t see the field yesterday was the Yankees catcher, Gary Sanchez. Erik Kratz got the start and worked extremely well with Happ. To me, yesterday wasn’t about just giving Sanchez the day off, it was about the Yankees confidence in their starting catcher.
