Luis Gil, man. The dude was good despite shaky command in April, but in May, he has just been a whole other level of untouchable. His two-hit mastery over eight was needed as the Yankees had to eke out a 2-1 win. So even with Monday’s gut punch, the Yankees can still take the series against the Angels with a victory today behind Carlos Rodón. Let’s get it!
Today on the site, David will explore the new bat-tracking data to examine the Yankees’ two-strike approach (both individually and team-wide), Sam will run through the Rivalry Roundup, and Jake will handle the latest entry in on our 1999 Yankees Diary. Later, Nick Power will check in on how the Yankees’ closest Triple-A pitching options are holding up, and Andrés will discuss Double-A pitching prospect Brock Selvidge.
