The New York Yankees acquired a pair of new and shiny bats in Anthony Rizzo and Joey Gallo at the trade deadline. They were key, especially Rizzo, in sweeping the Miami Marlins over the weekend.
Now, the Yankees get to see what their new pitcher can do. Veteran lefty Andrew Heaney came over from the Los Angeles Angels at the deadline and New York hopes he’s better than his 5.27 ERA indicates. Thankfully, he’ll have a favorable matchup against the Baltimore Orioles, who are actively tanking and sit last in the AL East.
The third-place Yankees, meanwhile, are now seven games behind the first-place Boston Red Sox.
