Thanks to a good day from Luis Gil and the Yankees’ bullpen, the Bombers picked up a necessary win over the Blue Jays on Saturday. They could probably use another win today, just to get the series win and generate some momentum against the top teams, but they really couldn’t afford to get swept, and that’s at least been avoided. The AL East is back to a three-game lead for Toronto.
While we know the Yankees gained ground on at least one team on Saturday, let’s check out what happened around the league in today’s Rivalry Roundup. (No, this won’t include the Dodgers no-hitting the Orioles for 8.2 innings in Baltimore, only to lose it on a Jackson Holliday homer and then see the ninth-inning lead go up in smoke. But that was cool.)
Detroit Tigers (82-61) 6, Chicago White Sox (54-89) 0
