The Bronx Bombers spent the weekend in Ohio and left without a scratch. A scrappy, contact-heavy bottom-of-the-order inning got things moving early, with Jazz Chisholm Jr. flipping the scoreboard and pointing into the camera like the lineup didn't need its star to do the heavy lifting.
Chisholm celebrates a Yankees run as the bit goes that Judge's lucky bat is never coming back to him.
That's been the running joke as the rest of the order keeps producing — Judge lends out the bat, Volpe drives in runs, Chisholm flexes, and the favor never gets returned. The bottom of the order has been doing Cleveland-coded baseball back at Cleveland: putting balls in play, pressuring the defense, and cashing in.
And then there's Goldy. The former MVP refuses to act his age, and at this point the Yankees front office has to be feeling pretty smug about the signing. Another RBI, another multi-hit day, another quiet reminder that whatever Goldschmidt has left in the tank is going to fuel a real playoff push.
Goldschmidt drives in a run to push the Yankees lead from 5-3 to 6-3 in Cleveland.
On the mound, Carlos Rodon turned in another strong one. Four starts deep into this stretch and the lefty looks like the guy the Yankees thought they were buying — which, paired with the rest of this staff, makes the rotation look genuinely scary heading into summer.
The take on Rodon's recent run and what it means for an already elite rotation.
Hard to not be pleased with Rodon over his last four starts. Only further strengthens and deepens this elite rotation
Sweep secured, 41-26, season-high 15 over. Goldy, Trent, and Cabby with multi-hit days, Jazz with a big triple, and a rotation that just keeps adding depth. Now flip the channel — it's Knicks time.
