Through four innings of play, things didn’t look great for the Yankees. CC Sabathia, attempting to reach 3,000 strikeouts, ended his day at 2,997 after getting knocked around for five runs. Gary Sanchez, in his first game back from the injured list, went 0-for-4 with four strikeouts, and the Yanks trailed 5-0.
Not to worry. The Bronx Railri— er, the Bronx Bombers, had it all the way.
The replacement Yankees turned a 5-0 deficit into a 6-5 win after a go-ahead single by DJ LeMahieu with two outs in the ninth.
