If there were ever the perfect team to snap a five-game losing streak to it would be the 41-71 Chicago White Sox. On the back of the recently acquired Lance Lynn, the Yankees beat the second worst team in baseball (record-wise) 7-0, snapping a dreadful string of defeats which included a sweep at the hands of the Red Sox.
Lynn, who was acquired from the Twins on July 30 for Tyler Austin, minor league pitcher Luis Rijo and cash, did something Sonny Gray, whom he replaced in the Yankee rotation had trouble with — stifle the opposition.
