Today wasn’t the kind of must-win scenario they’ll be facing in a couple of days, but it still felt like the Yankees badly needed to take their matinee match against the Marlins. They’re barely hanging onto the fifth seed for the Wild Card Series, and they’ve got the Toronto Blue Jays breathing down their necks at the finish line.
Fortunately for New York, they showed up after a frustrating night opened up this series. The Bombers returned to their power-laden form, and handled business in a 11-4 victory. Let’s get into the recap, bullet-point style:
- It wasn’t quite as fast as last night, but the Yankees fell behind 3-0 for the second straight time to these competitive Marlins.
