The Yankees turned in an awful week last week in our MLB The Show simulation, losing five of six games as their hold on the AL East lead dwindled. This week, the Bombers were able to trend back in the right direction, going 4-2 and closing the week with two straight wins against a tough Twins team.
After a day off to start the week, the Yankees went out to Pittsburgh and split two games with the Pirates, both close one-run contests. In the series opener, the Yankees trailed by one heading into the top of the eighth before erupting for three runs and ultimately hanging on for a 6-5 victory.
