Keefe To The City

The Yankees pulled off a miraculous ninth-inning comeback on Tuesday night, beating the Pirates 9-8 at the Stadium. The Yankees trailed by four runs and scored five without recording an out, led by Aaron Judge's 60th home run and a Giancarlo Stanton walk-off grand slam. Judge now has five games remaining on the homestand against two last-place teams in the Pirates and Red Sox to break Rogers...

The lineup was bad, the starting pitching wasn't great, the defense was atrocious, the managing was comical and the postgame accountability was nonexistent as the Yankees lost 4-2 to the Rays on Friday night. The lead in the loss column now sits at two games, and the Yankees' 15 1/2-game collapse is nearly complete.

The Yankees lost again on Saturday, scoring just one run on Aaron Judge's 52nd home run. The Yankees have now lost six of seven, 20 of 29, 26 of 41 and 38 of 68. Their 15 1/2-game division is down to four games and three games in the loss column, and Aaron Boone admitted the team might not turn it around.

The Yankees have finally called up Oswald Peraza. The Yankees’ No. 3 prospect will be with the team on Friday night in Tampa for what is the biggest series of the season. While I’m happy Peraza is finally here, make no mistake, he’s only here because the rosters expanded from 26 to 28 today.

The Yankees had a 15 1/2-game lead on July 8. It's now down to seven and just six in the loss column to the Rays, who they will play six times in the next 13 days. Blowing the division seemed mathematically impossible last month and now it's very much possible.

The Yankees finally dipped into their prospect pool to give their major-league roster a spark. All it took was going 24-29 since June 19 to finally make changes, but Oswaldo Cabrera and Estevan Florial were called up on Wednesday. Between the new look of the roster, Wednesday’s dramatic win and the hopeful returns in the near future of DJ LeMahieu and Giancarlo, maybe the Yankees can get back on t...

The Yankees lost again on Tuesday for their third straight loss and their ninth loss in their last 11 games. Their division lead, which was once 15 1/2 games is now eight games in the loss column. The are losing ground each day and not doing anything about it from a roster or lineup standpoint.

The Yankees are going to the postseason. But what they do when they get there is all that matters. For the last two months, they have done nothing to suggest they won't endure yet another early exit.

The Yankees blew a late two-run lead to the Mariners on Wednesday to lose the three-game series in Seattle. After ending their five-game losing streak on Monday, the Yankees have started a new losing that currently sits at two straight. They have lost 25 of 47 since June 19 and have successfully blown a nine-game lead over the Astros for the 1-seed in the American League.

The Yankees won for the first time in a week, beating the Mariners 9-4 in Seattle on Monday. But the big night from Josh Donaldson and the end of the Yankees' five-game losing streak was dampened by the loss of Matt Carpenter who fouled a ball off his foot, which could end his season.

The Yankees blew a late lead on Friday night to the Cardinals, were shut out on Saturday and blew a three-run lead on Sunday. They have now lost five straight and 16 of their last 25 games, having gone 21-23 since June 19. The Yankees are falling apart from a production and health standpoint, and it's foreshadowing another disappointing end to a season.

Aaron Boone inexplicably played Joey Gallo on Thursday night, and Gallo went 0-for-3 with three strikeouts. The worst everyday player in Major League Baseball can't play in another game for the Yankees.

The Yankees traded for Andrew Benintendi late on Wednesday night, and it was a solid move. But it can't be the only move. The Yankees need a lot of help if they want to win the World Series, and they need to acquire that help by Tuesday afternoon.

The two most important games of the second half for the Yankees came in a doubleheader on Thursday in Houston, and they lost both games. With the 0-2 day, the Yankees’ lead in the loss column over the Astros for the best record and 1-seed in the American League is now at just two games.

The Yankees beat the Red Sox 6-5 on Thursday in the first game between the rivals in three months. The Yankees had a supposed enormous advantage on the mound with Gerrit Cole, but the Yankees' "ace" allowed five runs, all on two Rafael Devers home runs. The two teams could very well meet in the ALDS or ALCS, and with Cole's issues against the Red Sox, how can he be trusted agai...

The Yankees won the first game of their three-game series against the A's on Tuesday 9-5, and even though they are not playing the Astros, I can't stop thinking about that. That's how important and telling the series over the weekend was.

The Yankees overcame two three-run deficits to beat the Astros with a 7-6 walk-off win on Thursday night at the Stadium. Aaron Hicks had his biggest hit and biggest moment of the season in the bottom of the ninth, and Aaron Judge ended the game with a single on the eve of his unnecessary anticipated arbitration battle with the Yankees. This season has to end with a World Series win.

The Yankees trailed the Rays 3-0 and 4-1 and managed to come back to win 5-4, thanks to a two-home run night from Aaron Judge and a clutch, two-run home run from Jose Trevino. The Yankees won yet another series and are now 7-3 against the Rays this season.

The Yankees beat the Rays for a fourth straight game on Monday, winning 4-2 at Tropicana Field. Gerrit Cole was dominant, the offense did just enough and Wandy Peralta closed the door in the ninth as the Yankees improved to a ridiculous 50-17.

The Yankees needed to go to Toronto and win one game. They won two and won the three-game series, but they could have won all three, blowing a five-run lead in the series finale. I'm not mad the Yankees lost a game. I'm mad with the way they lost since it's possibly another precursor to what Yankees fans could see in October.

The Yankees beat the Rays 2-1 on a walk-off home run from Anthony Rizzo, completing the sweep of their division rival. The Yankees won all three games in the series despite only scoring eight runs on 12 hits, thanks to their league-best pitching staff. At 12 games back in the division, you can cross the Rays off as a threat to the Yankees.

The Yankees won their sixth straight game on Wednesday, beating the Rays 4-3 at the Stadium. Nestor Cortes was once again superb, Aaron Judge hit his 25th home run and Kyle Higashioka hit a three-run home run. The Yankees have now won 13 straight home games and 13 of their last 14 games overall.

The Yankees beat the Rays 2-0 on Tuesday behind six scoreless innings from Gerrit Cole and some sloppy defense from their opponent. It was one of Cole's best starts as a Yankee given his past struggles against the Rays, and Jose Trevino summed up Cole's start nicely by saying, "He did what he's supposed to do."

Gerrit Cole allowed back-to-back-to-back home runs to begin Thursday night's game and allowed five home runs and seven earned runs in 2 1/3 innings in what was the worst start of his career. Thankfully, the entire Yankees' offense stepped up to erase his miserable performance and lead the Yankees to a 10-7 win.

The Yankees suffered their first lopsided loss of the season on Wednesday, losing 8-1 to the Twins. It took until the fifth inning of their 56th game of the year to play what an unwinnable game as the starting pitching was bad, the relief of the starting pitching was bad and the offense provided just one run on four hits. These are the types of games that happen over the course of a 162-game seaso...
