Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Guardians toss shutout, O’s tee off

4 days ago | pinstripealley.com | Sam Chapman

Photo by Greg Fiume/Getty Images It was a far-from-ideal Saturday for the Yankees, as they dropped a killer of a game to the Rays in rather dramatic fashion. They were able to hold onto a slim lead in the American League East despite the loss, so let’s take a look at how things played out elsewhere in the baseball world. Ben Lively and the Guardians staff twirled a shutout for their 11th win on Saturday.
Yankees News: Chisholm’s outburst gets him suspended

Photo by Julio Aguilar/Getty Images CBSSports | R.J. Anderson: In the least surprising development of the young season, MLB announced Friday that Jazz Chisholm Jr. is facing a one-game suspension, pending appeal. The Yankee second baseman exploded Thursday night after a... questionable... called third strike by home plate umpire John Bacon. After Chisholm’s inevitable ejection, he expressed his discontent on X/Twitter before deleting the post.
2000 Yankees Diary, April 18: Jeter, Posada homer in seventh straight win

6 days ago | pinstripealley.com | Sam Chapman

Photo by Ronald C. Modra/Getty Images 25 years ago today, the Yankees were hot off of an extra-innings thriller, which they won 5-4 against the Rangers in Texas. It was the Bombers’ sixth consecutive victory, and spirits were high as they headed into the second of a three-game set in Arlington. Orlando Hernández took the bump for New York in his fourth start of the season, and he was evidently raring to go.
Yankees History: How the Bombers won a 2004 game with literally nothing but solo homers

1 week ago | pinstripealley.com | Matt Ferenchick

Photo by Tom Pidgeon/Getty Images Over the years, several Yankees team have gotten criticism from some sets of the fandom for being “too reliant on home runs” for fears that may come back to haunt them in the playoffs. While there is legitimate analysis that disputes that as a worry, it’s a thought that arises every so often. For this year’s team, Monday night’s win over Royals will probably cause some of those claims again.
New York Yankees vs. Kansas City Royals: Clarke Schmidt vs. Kris Bubic

1 week ago | pinstripealley.com | Peter Brody

Photo by New York Yankees/Getty Images The Yankees have a chance to sweep their first series since the opening three-game set against the Brewers. The starting pitching has rebounded behind Carlos Carrasco and Max Fried, holding the Royals to a combined three runs across the first two games. They get reinforcements tonight with Clarke Schmidt set to make his season debut after starting the year on the IL with right rotator cuff tendinitis.
On Jasson Domínguez’s defense in left field

1 week ago | pinstripealley.com | John Griffin

Photo by Mary DeCicco/MLB Photos via Getty Images Jasson Domínguez’s defense was a major story of the spring, and not in a good way. After a September cameo in which he struggled so much in left field that the Yankees opted to continue rolling out the offensively inept Alex Verdugo on a daily basis, the Martian opened the spring by misplaying several fly balls in left field.
2000 Yankees Diary, April 16: Bombers rally past Royals for win

1 week ago | pinstripealley.com | Matt Ferenchick

As observers of this year’s Yankee team so far, I think we’re all acutely aware of the havoc that injuries can cause on a pitching staff. Three of the planned rotation members at the start of spring training have already missed time and/or aren’t coming back anytime soon. One of the replacements for those three is also now on the injured list. It’s been a mess. On this day 25 years ago, the Yankees were also dealing with pitching issues, although in that case, it was just one pitcher on the IL.
Yankees Rivals: Alex Bregman records five hits in Red Sox win over Rays

1 week ago | pinstripealley.com | Matt Ferenchick

Photo by Julio Aguilar/Getty Images Tuesday night was another pretty good one for the Yankees. Thanks to a solid outing from Max Fried and clutch hit from Jasson Domínguez saw them rally past the Royals to take the second game of that series. Now, they’ll have a chance to sweep a playoff team from last year later today in the series finale.
Yankees At-Bat of the Week: Trent Grisham’s go-ahead HR off Seth Lugo

1 week ago | pinstripealley.com | Peter Brody

Photo by Sarah Stier/Getty Images Monday night had the makings of a headache for the Yankees. Seth Lugo quietly finished second to Tarik Skubal in last year’s AL Cy Young voting. A stuttering Yankees offense wasn’t thrilled to see him after he held them to two runs in five innings in Game 3 of the ALCS (a game they’d go on to win) as well as seven scoreless innings allowing just three hits with ten strikeouts in the previous two times they met.
