The New York Yankees were 5-2 winners Wednesday afternoon over the Kansas City Royals. The win guaranteed the Yankees their 12 straight series win against the Royals. More importantly, it was another series win overall for The Bombers sit 1.5 ganes behind Boston for the second Wild Card.
The key to the game was Tyler Wade. Wade had 2 hits, a walk, scored a run and stole two bases. He had a game! It was necessary, because Aaron Boone had the inkling to have one of his ‘bullpen games’, starting Lucas Lutege. Lutege combined with 5 other relievers for the combined win. So, Our Fearless Leader’s strategy worked, today.
The Yankees head into a 3 game series against much better competition in the Chicago White Sox.
Some concerns I have: The health of the team. They can’t keep this up. This run has been nice. But they need healthy players as they play out the year and hopefully, the playoffs.
Secondly, the fielding. What the actual hell is going on?!? 8 errors in 3 games? Our Fearless Leader better call a meeting or have the team take Infield drills, good grief!
