As they say, momentum is only as good as the next day’s starting pitcher. The Yankees have had a disappointing start to this homestand, dropping the first two games to the Twins, before Domingo Germán twirled a gem and the club finally got some more traffic on the bases. That combination helped them win Saturday’s matinee over Minnesota, 6-1.
Germán was on one today, or perhaps something was on him. The Yankee right-hander was about as good as you can be through five innings — perfect in fact, striking out 10 of the 15 men he saw.
