PhotoSo it goes for the Yankees, who can’t do anything wrong even when maybe they did do something wrong. Indeed, Saturday’s game was the first time the Yankees have not hit a home run at home since April 8. But with Saturday’s victory, followed by the Red Sox’ victory later against the Texas Rangers, the Yankees (23-10) are one game back of Boston (24-9). During these 15 games, the Yankees have outscored their opponents by a lopsided 91-33 margin, and Yankees pitchers have compiled a stunning 2.00 earned run average. Badly shaken, Zimmer left the game with a shoulder contusion and Romine later scored on a single by Brett Gardner for the Yankees’ final run.
