The Toronto Blue Jays defeated the New York Yankees tonight by a final score of 5-4. It seems like the Yankees have made a bad habit of losing one run games late recently, so hopefully this slide will end in late September, when the Yankees will be preparing for a late-season run at the World Series while the Mets are making tee times in St. Petersburg.

The New York Yankees defeated the Tampa Bay Rays tonight by a score of 4-0. Curtis Granderson smashed his 26th home run on the season, giving the Yankees all the run support they would need. The four-headed monster of Freddy Garcia, Boone Logan, David Robertson, and Mariano Rivera got the shutout for the Yankees as they move a game closer to knocking the Rays out of the playoff race for good. With the victory, the Yanks are now 57-38.

A famous broadcaster once again, ‘Welp, you can’t predict baseball, Suzyn’. Oh how the irony reigns supreme.
With the Yankees clinging to a 2-1 lead in the seventh inning with TB runners on first and second, a fly ball was hit fairly deep to center. The Grandy Man went back and lost the ball in the ceiling. We’ve seen him make that routine play time after time, but Granderson lost the ball in the ceiling, allowing all runners to advance. Boone Logan induced a grounder back to the mound for the 1-2-3 double play, but it hopped off his glove, allowing the Rays to take the lead, 3-2. The Rays would not relinquish this lead, which leads me back to this famous saying: ‘You can’t predict baseball, Suzyn’.
Crap.
The New York Yankees defeated the Cincinnati Reds tonight by a score of 5-3. Ivan Nova looked downright dominant at times and earned his seventh victory of the year. With the win, the Yankees move to 42-29 on the season.

What. A. Mess. That’s all I can really say after the Yankees 4-1 win over the Orioles tonight. In a game that featured a Bartolo Colon eight inning masterpiece, a Mariano Rivera blown save, 31 total runners left on base, a Chris Dickerson cracked helmet, AJ Burnett running the bases, and Jeremy Gutherie (Thursday’s starter) coming in, in-relief, the Yankees finally prevailed, pushing their record to 22-19. There’s so much to get to with this game, so let’s gooo.
Big Bart Dealing
The New York Yankees lost to the Texas Rangers by a score of 7-5 tonight. The game started ugly, got a lot better looking, and then slowly went downhill. Bartolo Colon got hit around early in his worst start for the pinstripes this year.

After four and a half hour game (which included a thirty-minute rain delay), the Yankees prevailed 6-3. Mariano Rivera blew his second save of the week, giving up an RBI double to Brian Roberts in the ninth inning with the Yanks holding a 3-2 advantage. Freddy Garcia gave the Yankees another strong start, throwing six innings of scoreless ball. Curtis Granderson led the way with three hits, including a first inning home run. With the win, the Yankees improve to 12-6 on the season and head home for their next seven games.
