Halfway through Saturday night’s game in Atlanta, you’d be forgiven for feeling like things were slipping away. The Yankees were well on their way to dropping their first series of the second half, after losing their last two games heading into the All-Star Break. Yet here we are headed into the new week with newfound momentum, the Yankees having pulled out two wins to take the series from the Braves. Those wins felt particularly necessary with the Blue Jays sweeping the Giants this weekend to keep
the pressure on as we head into this week’s crucial series in Toronto.
You can get prepped for the three games in Toronto with Madison’s preview, and caught up on Sunday’s action with today’s Rivalry Roundup. Later, Peter will analyze Merrill Kelly as a potential starting pitching target, John’s entry in the 2000 Yankees diary will remember a strong start at the end of Doc Gooden’s career, and Madison will put out the call for this week’s mailbag.
