YANKEES POUNCE... BEAT BOSTON IN THE 8TH


You have to appreciate the latest energy by the New York Yankees. A loss here and there are gonna happen, but the energy seems different lately and I like it. Yesterday it seemed like they were done against the Sox, but they came back when they needed to. And it happened in the 8th when the Sox got complacent. You gotta love baseball... it's so unpredictable.

MLB writes:

"Rougned Odor kissed Fenway Park’s Green Monster with a game-tying, two-run double and Gleyber Torres’ soft flare found turf in right field to create the Yankees’ first lead of the afternoon, part of an unlikely rally that fueled a 4-3 victory over the Red Sox on Saturday.

“It’s a really good win on a day when we were lackluster for the first seven innings or so,” said outfielder Brett Gardner, who helped spark the comeback with an RBI single. “Things weren’t looking good, so it’s definitely nice to be able to come out of here with the win. It’s a crazy game we play.”

Gardner squared a curveball for a two-out, two-strike hit that chased home Estevan Florial with the Yankees’ first run, helping New York swipe a victory from Boston -- their third win in 12 tries this season.

That knocked out right-hander Nathan Eovaldi, who had been excellent through seven innings, handcuffing his former club by striking out eight without a walk. Giancarlo Stanton greeted right-hander Adam Ottavino with a ground-rule double that bounced into the seats along the right-field line."

Bottom line... it's what the Yankees needed and it's all coming together at the right time.  Go Yanks!
