A turning point is presenting itself to the Yankees.
It is less than a week’s worth of games so far, a small shift of the tectonic plates over a 162-game season, but after a second straight comeback, feel-good victory over the Rays, 9-8 on Saturday afternoon in The Bronx, powered by two Aaron Judge home runs and the legs of Anthony Volpe, the window of opportunity looks open for the Yankees.
Kyle Higashioka and Aaron Judge cut the deficit to 6-4 in the bottom half of the inning with a pair of two-run home runs that chased Tampa starter Shane McClanahan and set the tone for the rest of the afternoon. But Clay Holmes escaped the seventh without any further damage, then worked in and out of trouble in the eighth.Robert Sabo for the NY PostThat left the ninth for Wandy Peralta, who slammed the door.
