When a team is rolling like the Yankees are it is easy to have fun, and outfielder Brett Gardner was the butt of a clubhouse joke. When Gardner got to his locker at the beginning of the rain delay he found a printout of a tweet by former teammate Phil Hughes making fun of his …

If only Monday night’s thunderstorm in The Bronx possessed a little more oomph, Gerrit Cole could have doubled his career complete-games total from two to four in the span of three starts as a Yankee. Alas, this shower showed off as much power as the standard 2020 Yankees opponent: Not much. Hence the Yankees’ $301.3 …

Gerrit Cole was good but not overpowering in his initial game wearing Yankee pinstripes. For the first time in six games Aaron Judge didn’t hit a ball into a sea of empty seats. Yet, Cole had enough to limit the Phillies to a run in six innings and Gio Urshela, DJ LeMahieu and Brett Gardner …

The Phillies look ready to return to the field. Having had all games since last Sunday postponed after playing the Marlins — who’ve had 21 individuals test positive for COVID-19 since their series in Philadelphia — the Phillies announced they had no new positive cases in their most recent round of tests, and will resume …

They are Bronx Bombers again, especially the hulking giant named Aaron Judge. They have a Hit Machine at the top of the lineup named DJ LeMahieu. They have a Cy Young-candidate named Gerrit Cole.

The Yankees could have hardly scripted the start to this season any better. With Saturday’s 5-2 win over the Red Sox, they’ve won five straight and their lineup looks to be as good as advertised.
