This rollercoaster of a game was certainly unexpected for two offenses coming into the game in a slump, but the Yankees were able to pull off a nailbiter and came up with big hits in big spots to overcome an early 5-1 deficit.
It wasn’t perfect, but the Yankees can’t care about how they win, rather just if they’re able to win while Aaron Judge is on the IL with his toe injury. Luis Severino continues to struggle and raise alarms about his diminishing velocity, but there to pick him up was a bullpen that’s continued to overcome injury and adversity to live up to its billing as the best in baseball.
