SEATTLE – The New York Yankees were on the cusp of solidifying their first series win since June 11th, but fell in heartbreaking fashion to the Seattle Mariners, 6-5 in 10 innings. In the midst of a tough loss, one thing stood out more than anything: Matt Holliday continues to be the most clutch bat in the Yankees’ lineup.
At 37-years-old and batting .242 on the season, Holliday is a player that many overlook – especially with the season that rookie Aaron Judge is having. However, the wily veteran provides clutch at-bats when the Yankees need him the most –which is why he will be such a valuable asset come playoff time.
