The Yankees sure needed that win, didn’t they? The Bombers have played sluggish baseball for a month now, and it looked like they would drop this game too. Instead, the team battled back and secured a come-from-behind win, topping the Royals by a score of 5 - 4.
After losing this afternoon, the Yankees came out swinging in the first inning of tonight’s game. It started with back-to-back hits by Brett Gardner and Giancarlo Stanton, who advanced via a Didi Gregorius fly ball. Gardner then scored on a Miguel Andujar single, while Stanton came home thanks to a Neil Walker sacrifice fly.
