Typically, I would say that a series split with any team isn’t really worth any celebration. However, given the Yankees awful results against the Houston Astros last year (and previous ones), I’d say a 2-2 split is pretty darn surprising. Despite the awful execution with runners in scoring position, the offense showed decent life. Although that was immediately negated by the awful series opener against the White Sox, for a second, I thought things might be turning around. Gleyber Torres, Giancarlo Stanton, and DJ LeMahieu have all been significantly better in the last month or so, and each of them showed life at some point in the Astros series.
Yankees At-Bat of the Week: Giancarlo Stanton (8/3)
