Today on Pinstripe Alley - 7/5/23

It was a successful holiday for the Yankees, with the club really shifting the vibes after two impressive wins over the rival Orioles. They’ve pulled within just two games of the birds in the standings, meaning a sweep of this four-game set would bring the two sides level. That’s getting ahead of ourselves, but the Yankees have a real opportunity here to close out the first half strong and put themselves in solid position heading into All-Star week.

As we continue our push towards the All-Star Break, it’s another loaded day on the site. In the morning, get caught up with Andrew’s Rivalry Roundup, Peter’s entry in the 1998 Yankees diary, and John’s profile of the Cubs as a potential trade partner. Later on Marcus will review the week that was down on the farm, and Esteban will give us his At-bat of the Week.
