Curtis Granderson hit his 20th home run of the season in the fourth inning today; four innings later, Mark Teixeira hit his 19th. And while no one is expecting a Mantle-Maris situation to play out over the rest of the year, the Yankees are enjoying watching their back-to-back hitters try to keep up with each [...]

As expected, two issues dominated the postgame: Bartolo Colon and the Yankees hitters as human pinatas. First, Colon. He left Yankee Stadium and was headed to New York Presbyterian hospital for an MRI on his left hamstring. Joe Girardi said he probably wouldn’t know more until tomorrow, but depending on what the tests show, it [...]

A.J. Burnett knew right away that he didn’t have his best curveball today. He even admitted that he “really let that hook bother me the first couple innings.” The difference between last year and this year, though, is that Burnett refused to let that realization ruin his day. “In the past, I’d get ticked off [...]

The Yankees couldn’t get a big hit on Friday, leaving runners in scoring position all night in a disappointing loss. Today, the story was different: The Yankees went 4-for-9 with runners in scoring position, beating Toronto, 5-4, despite not getting a single hit after the third inning. A.J. Burnett was decent, going six innings and [...]
