NYY 14, MIN 1: The power bats deliver behind Tanaka
It was a home-run derby in the Bronx as Masahiro Tanaka returned to form. Following a pair of disappointing outings, Masahiro Tanaka returned to ace form on David Wells Bobblehead Night. Miguel Andujar, Gary Sanchez, Giancarlo Stanton, Tyler Austin, and Didi Gregorius powered the Bombers to a 14-1 victory over Minnesota at Yankee Stadium. Gleyber Torres got his first major league hit as the Yankees pushed their winning streak to a season-high three games. Twenty years ago, David Wells retired all 27 Minnesota batters he faced to record just the second perfect game in Yankees history....

Breaking down the Gleyber Torres promotion
What does Torres bring to the 2018 Yankees? A total of 636 days separated two watershed moments in recent Yankees history. On July 25, 2016, the team acquired top prospect Gleyber Torres in a trade with the Cubs. Now, today, the 21-year-old second baseman makes his long awaited big league debut. While the Pinstripe Alley staff examined his journey to the Bronx last week, his promotion asks us to situate him in the context of the 2018 Yankees. If one thing’s clear, it’s that the team didn’t call Torres up for an experiment. This isn’t like how the Yankees tabbed Gary Sanchez for a...

Yankees 4, Blue Jays 3: Aaron Judge hit a ball to the moon
It got dicey for a second, but New York took the win in game one. This was a much needed win, wasn’t it? After a rough couple of days, the Yankees climbed over .500 following a victory over the Blue Jays. The Bombers received some timely hitting and a (mostly) strong bullpen showing. There are still some things to work through, namely defense and starting pitching, but take the win here. New York did just that, sneaking past Toronto by a score of 4 - 3. The Yankees got on the board first, and it was thanks to the bottom of the order. Gary Sanchez got the inning started with a bloop...

Breaking down Gary Sanchez’s slump
Gary Sanchez hasn’t gotten off to the strongest of starts. Here’s why. It’s no secret that Gary Sanchez hasn’t gotten off to the hottest of starts. As of the writing of this article, Sanchez owns a slash line of .133/.152/.400, which translates into a wRC+ of 46. I expected many things from Sanchez this year, but I have to admit, “being marginally better than Billy McKinney” wasn’t one of them. Of course, it’s a long season, and Sanchez is bound to snap out of his current slump. At the same time, though, it’s still worth taking a deep dive into the numbers to figure out...

Yankees 8, Tigers 6: Hicks makes us happy
A pair of home runs from the Yankees center fielder pace a Friday night victory Panthera tigris is the tiger species with which we’re all familiar. They’re big, they have stripes, and are one of the few animals known to actively hunt human beings. Tonight in Detroit, however, Yankees fans were introduced to another tiger species, the Tigris horribulis. A comedy of poor plays and poorer relief pitching helped the Yankees erupt to an 8-6 win in game one. The Tigers got off to a rough start in the second inning, as Gary Sanchez doubled to the wall on a line drive that right fielder Nick...
