Photo by Luke Hales/Getty Images Last October, the Yankees and Royals squared off in their first playoff series since 1980, renewing a historic rivalry. I think the popular notion is that this was mostly a mismatch and that New York easily took care of KC in four games. But if it was a mismatch, then the Yanks played down to the competition, narrowly winning Game 1 by a bad-call-aided run and losing Game 2 to head to Kauffman Stadium having given away home-field advantage.

Photo by Steph Chambers/Getty Images The Yankees had their schedule for early this week in Detroit bumped up a bit, as the night games all turned into matinees due to very chilly weather ahead. The opener was a sleepy, sometimes-snowy affair that New York lost in a dud, 6-2. Unfortunate!Here’s what else was afoot around the American League yesterday (note that the Guardians were off).

Photo by Steven King/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images It’s hard to sweep road series, even against sub-.500 teams. That’s important to keep in mind as the Yankees lick their wounds following an 11-inning loss in Pittsburgh. They won’t get credit in the end-of-season standings either, but the ninth-inning rally to send it to extras was more than I frankly expected anyway. So it’s time to move on, settle for the mere series W, and think about the Yankees’ next series.

Photo by Justin K. Aller/Getty Images Whenever the Yankees have a clearly subpar opponent on the schedule—especially an opponent whose ace isn’t scheduled to pitch—my hope is that they take care of business in a hurry and not leave the series up to chance. So I’m happy to see that the Yanks have mostly made tidy work of the Pirates this weekend, notching back-to-back victories.
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Too many two-run bombs as Red Sox beat Orioles

2 weeks ago | pinstripealley.com | Andrew Mearns

Photo by Greg Fiume/Getty Images Although the Yankees were in action last night, they were one of only a handful of teams that weren’t off. As such, today’s Rivalry Roundup will be shorter than normal, but only by a bit. The Astros, Orioles, and Red Sox were all active, and the latter two squared off against each other in Baltimore. When the Orioles lost Corbin Burnes to the Diamondbacks this past offseason, they immediately faced questions about how they would replace him in the rotation.
