Aaron Boone keeps getting it right: Just two days after general manager Brian Cashman gave Boone a vote of confidence to reporters, the manager pulled the right strings in three major pinch-hitting spots.
Boone speculated that Torres might have felt the injury trying to turn a double play to his right not long before.
Gary Sanchez may be regaining form: Sanchez went 1-for-4 and entered the night hitting .320 with four homers, 10 RBI and a 1.022 OPS over his previous 15 games.
No sticky stuff, no problem for Gerrit Cole: All eyes were on the Yankees’ ace Wednesday when he took the mound for the first time since MLB announced formally that it would crack down on pitchers using sticky substances on the mound.
On Thursday, he made a catch maybe only someone with his 6-foot-7, power forward frame could make, leaping to steal a two-run home run from Cavan Biggio in the sixth inning.
