The Yankees have been playing a bunch of close games recently, and they are in the midst of 13 games in a row. They needed to win a laugher, and they did today, by beating the Kansas City Royals 13-4. Fourteen of their games have been decided by two runs or fewer, and their last…
The Yankees won a pitcher’s duel between Can Schlittler and Michael Wacha 4-2. Both pitchers were outstanding in the game, and Schlittler was perfect through 3.2 innings.
