Gerrit Cole is 4-0
Clay Holmes got the save (his third).
The Yankees got three runs in the first inning, stopped scoring runs, and held off to win. I just don't think they would have won a game like this last year. Or the year before. Or the year before that.
This year is different in so many ways.
So many good ways.
The Yankees are 28-9.
Unbelievable!
I agree, Paul. The past couple of years, we'd see the game where they'd have one big inning and then . . . nothing, no tack-on runs, and the opponent would creep back and creep back and creep back and . . . creep ahead, and the Yankees would lose. This year, the pitching can bail them out (though I wouldn't want to try this against the good teams in league).
is it possible that the Yankees could be 20 games above .500
before playing 40 games?
