The Yankees are in the most crucial part of their schedule, and they opened it up in dominant fashion. They put up seven runs against Framber Valdez and the Houston bullpen while Max Fried delivered his third straight quality start, cruising to victory as it was Houston’s turn to fumble the ball around while the Yankees capitalized.
A series victory to open this gauntlet would be huge, and the Yankees can secure that with Will Warren on the mound tonight. Before that, we’ll start our day off with Peter
giving us a unique three-person At-Bat of the Week before going over the Rivalry Roundup. Then Sam dives into the best defensive plays the Yanks made in August, Matt covers the beginning of the 2000 Yankees’ September slump in our latest Diary entry, and Scott gets into the RailRiders’ latest results as they look to hold onto first place.
