The Yankees’ win today marked their third in a row, tying their longest streak of this young season. That streak might’ve been quite a bit longer without Thursday’s loss to the Royals, which is admittedly still on my mind.
In the top of the seventh, the Yankees trailed 3-1. Domingo German turned in six good but not great innings, and the offense didn’t have much to show except for a handful of loud outs. Win expectancy statistics indicate the Royals had over an 80% chance to win that game, but regardless, a two-run deficit at home can still feel like a winnable game.
