The Yankees’ youth movement and the fun that’s come with it continued on Saturday as they came away with a 5-4 win, clinching the series against the Astros. Rookies Anthony Volpe, Everson Pereira, Jasson Domínguez, Austin Wells, Jhony Brito, and Oswald Peraza in a starring role all chipped in for a nice win.
While it was a good night for the Yankees on that front, let’s check in on what happened around the AL yesterday.
Wild Card Mix
Boston Red Sox (70-66) 9, Kansas City Royals (42-95) 5
Thanks to 13 hits (and two Royals’ errors), the Red Sox pounded Kansas City pitching as they ended a five-game losing streak.
