The Yankees continue to truck along. With their winning streak snapped, New York wasted no time trying to start a new one, in spite of the historic raft of players on the IL. That avalanche of injuries led the team to plug Gio Urshela into the cleanup spot, but no matter. James Paxton out-pitched Madison Bumgarner, and the Yankees opened their three-game set with the Giants with a 7-3 victory.
Things got off to a fortunate start for the Yankees. DJ LeMahieu hit a lazy foul fly, but Steven Duggar wasn’t able to make the catch after tripping over the bullpen mound.
