The Bombers are battling it out to climb the AL East and in recent weeks have dominated the opposition. But this result will be a slap in the face and a wake-up call, as there are many games left to play. It will be interesting to see whether the Yankees can close this series with a win. They won the first game behind a clutch Aaron Judge performance and lost the second on an epic pitching collapse.
