The New York Yankees left their figurative baggage in Oakland and Andrew McCutchen literally had his luggage lost. Both the Yankees and McCutchen found a nice respite in the Pacific Northwest, taking two of three contests from the Seattle Mariners. It was close to a clean sweep but a much cleaner series and a bounce back one at that for the Yankees.
GAME 1
KISS. Keep It Simple Stupid. The Yankees tightened things up on defense, received solid starting pitching and timely power hitting. Didi Gregorius made a return late in the game and Aaron Judge took batting practice.
