The New York Yankees appeared to get the major shot in the arm they needed after some trade deadline moves, as they added two powerful left-handed bats to the lineup in the form of outfielder Joey Gallo and first baseman Anthony Rizzo.
Rizzo has already helped cement himself as a fan favorite with the Yankees within his first handful of outings, blasting two home runs in as many games to help New York win two straight contests against the Miami Marlins.
