While it wasn’t the prettiest game from an offensive perspective, the Yankees picked up a much-needed win yesterday. Thanks to a good pitching performance from Luis Severino and a Billy McKinney home run, the Yankees beat the Rangers 1-0 on Saturday, allowing them a chance at a series win in the finale this afternoon.
As they go for it, the Yankees will send Gerrit Cole to the mound. Cole is coming off an outing where he allowed one run on four hits in 7.1 innings in a finger-wagging win over the Mariners. In general, June has been a pretty good month for him, as he’s given up just five runs in 25.
