Postgame Report: NYY (-215) Winner

That's six wins in a row for the Pickstreak blog.  We crushed that pick into the upperdeck.

Carlos Rodon had a great start in front of the New York crowd and the Yanks' bats scored nine runs and hit three homers.  Twins' starter Travis Adams was out of the game in the third.  Minnesota's bullpen gave up seven hits, seven walks and five earned.  

The Yanks bullpen locked it down.  Yankees win 9-1.

The Yankees were not a sure thing.  Rodon had two fairly bad starts coming into last night's contest.  The Yankees were 3-7 over their last ten and the Twins had played some good baseball.  

Following the game closely everyday, you can pick up on some minutia that isn't necessarily in the stats or in the boxscores.  

I feel like this series with the Twins is a turning point for the Yankees' season.  I think the Yanks are going to win some games in August with Luis Gil, Cam Schlittler and Will Warren all turning it up a notch.  They''ll need Max Fried to get back on track, he has had a dead arm for a month now, but their rotation could be strong down the stretch if they can stay well rested and injury free.  

The bullpen could be real good too with Hill, Leiter Jr., De Los Santos, Doval, Bednar, Williams and Weaver.  

They need to dig up another starter. They need a good long man out of the bullpen to keep their rotation and their high leverage arms fresh into October and they need Stanton's arm to hold up in right field but the Yanks are in it, if they get some breaks in the health department, they have a good team and will be competitive in the playoffs.
