new york yankees

One of the greatest Yankees to ever play in the Bronx is paying Central New York a visit.

A team parading around as the New York Mets smacked five home runs out of Yankees Stadium on Monday, as the lesser of New York's two baseball teams earned an 8-5 win and a season split of the 2018 Subway Series.

The New York Yankees have been busy the past two weeks, tweaking and adding to the roster to build a legit October-contender.

Seth Lugo filled in brilliantly for Noah Syndergaard in the Sunday night finale in Part 1 of the 2018 Mets-Yankees Subway Series, out-dueling Yankee-ace Luis Severino as the Mets salvaged the finale at Citi Field 2-0.

He's a 6-7, near 300-pound slugger who can hit the ball a very, very long way. But like most big bats in The Bigs, Aaron Judge is prone the strikeout.

The Yankee offense collected 15 hits on the night, including two each from Brett Gardner, Judge, Gregorius, Tyler Austin and Miguel Andujar. Gary Sanches added three hits and three RBIs.

Rain washed away two of the three games scheduled between the New York Yankees and Detroit Tigers series this weekend.

It is part of the game - if you think a team was unfair, or dirty, or out of line to one of your players, you have to stand up for your guy. Which is why I understand Kelly's beaning of Austin.

Luis Severino (2-0) struck out seven over 7 and 1/3 innings to earn the win.

After the New York Yankees' home opener was delayed by snow on Monday, Didi Gregorius seemed to be fueled by the rain and mist that permeated Yankees Stadium on Tuesday.
