The Yankees couldn’t coast their way to two straight victories in Houston, taking an early lead before watching it crumble and turn into just as large of a deficit. They staged a late comeback to raise the tension, but Jazz Chisholm Jr. was struck out on a questionable call to end the game after Cody Bellinger brought them within one on a three-run homer.
Today on the site, Nick P. will run his latest Yankees Reliever Confidence Index, I’ll have the Rivalry Roundup, and Nolan will argue why you should
be paying attention to the final series of the High-A regular season, which has the Yanks’ Hudson Valley Renegades trying to usurp Greensboro for a playoff spot. Later, John will open the 2000 Yankees Diary for September 4th, and then tonight, we’ll have baseball!
