After two comically bad offensive performances, the Yankees erupted for a whopping four runs Sunday to avoid getting swept by the Blue Jays. So good for them, but this offense continues to suck the life out of every game this team plays, and there’s no sign of it ever ending. Lets get to it.
I dare say that I think we witnessed multiple baseball miracles Sunday afternoon as the Yankees somehow salvaged the finale of their three-game series in Toronto with a 4-3 victory, avoiding the sweep I had rather confidently predicted.
They scored four runs! In one game! And won! Of course, caveat alert here, they needed extra innings to do it to get to four.
Speaking of extra innings, can you believe they won a game beyond the regulation nine for just the third time in 12 tries?
And all of that happened at Rogers Centre, a miserable house of horrors where going into Sunday they had lost 15 of 21 games since the start of 2024, counting last year’s playoffs.
Yeah, in the span of three hours I’d say that qualifies as three baseball miracles when it comes to this offensively-inebriated iteration of the Yankees.
Ben Rice came through with a huge two-run homer to lift the Yankees over the Blue Jays Sunday.
I guess I can concede that some of the land fill-like stench from the abhorrence that was the first two games when they scored a total of two runs on nine hits was washed away Sunday, but was it really? I mean they had six hits in 10
