New York Yankees showing some resolve and toughness
New York Yankees keep taking steps in the right direction. Their grit and determination have come through in the past few games.
The New York Yankees are showing a new toughness and it’s being received well by each and every Yankee fan. The New York Yankees started their week by playing their oldest rival the Boston Red Sox’, and to the delight of each fan in the home stands they made a grand statement.
The First game was an easy route that sparked the bat of the Yankees all night long, add in the blazing heat and God-fearing breaking stuff that Paxton showed in the series opener and the Yankees looked downright nasty.
In the second game of this short series, the Yankees found themselves down late and looking almost sluggish and drawn out. Yet the leadership that was needed came from the same man I thought would be best on a new team at the beginning of the year.
Brett Gardner came through in the clutch with a perfectly timed grand slam and like a pure shot of adrenaline to the arm of this young roster. The Yankees bullpen finally showed they have some teeth and held down the late innings with a masterful pitching performance by the flame-throwing Chapman.
New York Yankees against the Royals
The Yankees came into the first game of the series emotionally drained and it was very apparent that the short series against the Red Sox still meant more than just a regular win the in record column.
The Kansas City Royals took the Yankees to the woodshed Thursday night and made sure to help themselves to sausage sandwich and a pretzel while they were at the stadium. Things looked to be bleak but only for a moment.
