What a difference a week can make! Just last Tuesday, the Yankees were in the midst of a 5-15 skid that threatened to put their playoff aspirations in jeopardy. The starting rotation was floundering, the bullpen looked lost, and the offense was dead in the water. Up stepped rookie phenom Deivi García to stop the bleeding, jumpstarting the Yankees’ current five-game winning streak.
The real test begins today, as the Yankees’ main division foe comes to town. The Blue Jays remain as the Bombers’ biggest roadblock to grabbing a decent seed for the postseason.
