Yankees fall to Rockies in series finale
Wendell Cruz-USA TODAY Sports The Yanks failed to sweep the Rockies after poor outings by Paxton and the offense. The Yankees won the first two games of this three-game set against the Rockies, and came into Sunday in search of a sweep. James Paxton took the mound for New York, having recorded a quality start in each of his last three appearances. German Marquez started for Colorado, looking to rebound after allowing 11 runs in his pervious start. Charlie Blackmon blasted a leadoff homer into the Yankees’ bullpen to get the scoring started early for the Rockies. James Paxton has now...

Noah K. Murray-USA TODAY Sports The Yankees will look to sweep the Rockies to finish the home stand.

NYY vs. TB: CC Sabathia vs. Ryne Stanek
Photo by Michael Owens/ The Yankees will look to avenge Monday’s brutal loss. Monday’s game against the Rays almost went according to plan: James Paxton pitched well, the Yankees hit three home runs, and went into the ninth with a lead. After Travis d’Arnaud hit his third home run of the game and Aroldis Chapman blew the save, though, the Rays won 5-4 and closed the gap in the AL East to just five games. The Yankees will turn to CC Sabathia, to get things back on track tonight. CC has long excelled as a “stopper” after a crushing loss, and tonight’s a perfect night for him to...

Domingo German found his go-to pitch
You can credit the curveball for German’s success One the best aspects of covering the 2019 Yankees has been following Domingo German’s success. Before he got injured in the first half, he was essentially the Yankees’ most important player. With Luis Severino out, another pitcher on the staff had to step up and anchor the rotation. It wasn’t offseason acquisition James Paxton, but rather a suprise breakout in German. Not only did German find a way to lead the staff through a ridiculous stretch of injuries, but he did it while becoming one of the league’s best pitchers. Through...

Yankees drop series opener to Rays, 5-4
This might have been the worst loss of the season. James Paxton just can’t escape the first inning without allowing a run. This time, the uncharacteristic leadoff hitter Travis d’Arnaud took a pitch into the seats to begin the game. Paxton finished with a solid start, though, striking out a total of seven hitters while surrendering two runs in six innings of work. Besides two mistakes, Paxton was able to keep the game close, especially with great defensive plays supporting the southpaw. Aaron Boone came out during the top of the sixth to ask Paxton if he felt okay to stay in the game,...

Yankees Highlights: d’Arnaud out-slugs Encarnacion in brutal loss
Two homers from their imported slugger were not enough to save the Yankees from a shocking onslaught from Travis d’Arnaud. For a brief moment, it appeared the Yankees had snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. Yet just as quickly as they had seemed to finesse a dramatic win over their division rivals did the Rays flip the script. A solid James Paxton start and Edwin Encarnacion’s late-game heroics were all for naught after a blown save by Aroldis Chapman and a stunning three-homer game from Travis d’Arnaud left the Yankees with a deflating 5-4 loss in the Bronx. Winner of the...

NYY vs. TB: James Paxton vs. Blake Snell
James Paxton is on the mound to kick off a four-game set versus the Rays in the Bronx. The Yankees have started the second half on a positive note, as solid starting pitching and timely hitting led to a series win against the Toronto Blue Jays. Potential trade target Marcus Stroman threw a quality start yesterday, but it wasn’t enough against Masahiro Tanaka and the Yankees bullpen. Now the Bombers will welcome the Tampa Bay Rays into town as they try to extend their lead in the AL East. The most recent four-game series against the Rays ended up in a split down in Tampa, but in the Bronx...
