The Yankees’ offense has been running hot and cold the past few weeks. They dropped 13 runs on Houston in their two wins and scored just a pair of runs total in their three losses, and most recently, they plated 19 runs in Cleveland during a Saturday doubleheader before getting blanked on one measly hit the next day. After being held to two runs in a series-opening loss to Pittsburgh on Tuesday, the feast-or-famine approach was tested again.
The verdict: Feast. Oh boy howdy, was it a feast.
How did we get to this oddball moment of switch-hitter Aaron Hicks going righty-on-righty for a grand slam against a position player pitching to put the Yankees up by 14?
