The current focus may be on the Yankees' off-field moves, but their on-field play remained strong in a 5-2 victory.
Rumors continued to swirl Sunday about the Yankees and their closer, Aroldis Chapman. Even so, there was still baseball to be played, and the Yankees managed to continue to play good baseball, downing the Giants 5-2 to take the series behind a strong start from Nathan Eovaldi.
The Yankees used a pair of solo shots off of San Francisco starter Jeff Samardzija to jump out to an early advantage.
