You can’t look past any MLB team, but this was a game the Yankees absolutely should have won — they were playing a bad baseball team starting a bad pitcher, making his first appearance off the IL. Sure enough, they took care of business, winning their 14th straight series against the Royals with an 8-2 win on Old-Timers’ Day.
The club was off and running early, with DJ LeMahieu taking starter Jonathan Heasley deep in the Yankees’ first at-bat of the game. It was his 10th long ball of the season, tying his mark from 150 games last year in just his 92nd contest this season.
