BALTIMORE — What to make of the Yankees’ performance so far through their Summer Siesta?
Would you prefer to get encouraged by their pitching? Distressed by their offense? Encouraged by their offense? Choose your own outlook adventure.
What interests me most is the arrival of J.A. Happ and his stabilization of the Yankees’ pitching staff for October. What would concern me most, if I cared about the Yankees’ fortunes, is how much or little the team can hope to get from the currently injured duo of Aaron Judge and Gary Sanchez.
Happ and a resurgent Yankees offense steamrolled over the horrendous Orioles on Saturday afternoon, 10-3, in Game 1 of an Oriole Park at Camden Yards doubleheader, and Sonny Gray completed the sweep in Game 2, 5-1, in a triumphantly temporary return to the starting rotation.
