New York Daily News | Gary Phillips<\/a>: With the Yankees\u2019 game against the Orioles knotted at one on Sunday in extra innings, Ben Rice came to the plate. One swing of the bat later, Rice had his 24th home run of the season and his second career grand slam. Considering the Yankees\u2019 well-documented struggles in extra innings on the road, Rice would struggle to find a better time to crush a go-ahead slam. It also had to feel extra nice for Rice, who\u2019s hit into a lot of hard luck in 2025.<\/p>\n

The Athletic | Brendan Kuty ($)<\/a>: Giancarlo Stanton hit the 450th home run of his illustrious career Saturday against the Orioles. Big G, the fifth-fastest to achieve the milestone, should have just a few more home runs in his bat. How many? Giancarlo definitely has his eye on making it to 500, one of the most hallowed round numbers in baseball and one that used to mark automatic entry into Cooperstown. \u201cOf course you think about it,\u201d Stanton remarked when asked about 500 career dingers. \u201cYou understand that if you bear down, I\u2019m capable of doing it. One at a time. That\u2019s all I can do.\u201d<\/p>\n

NESN | Colin Keane<\/a>: Inside enemy territory, they\u2019re paying attention to the Yankees\u2019 strong play of late. While I\u2019m sure Boston is trying to jinx us, seeing the following in print from NESN is a beautiful thing: \u201cEverything seems to be coming together for the Yankees at the right time. Max Fried is looking dominant again, Aaron Judge is looking healthy again, and vibes are good in the Bronx.\u201d Of particular note, they highlight the strong performances from Max Fried and Carlos Rod\u00f3n, and that if that duo keeps it up, the Yankees will be a problem in the playoffs.<\/p>\n

New York Post | Greg Joyce<\/a>: Speaking of playoff pitching, while the aforementioned will surely start the first two games, to whom could the Yankees turn to start a Game 3? You\u2019d think the decision would boil down to either Luis Gil, the 2024 AL Rookie of the Year who\u2019s sparkled since returning from injury, or Cam Schlittler, the rookie flamethrower who burnished his bona fides with a very nice start against the Orioles Sunday. Will Warren lurks as well, though. When asked about the situation, Aaron Boone remarked: \u201cPerformance matters, and where you think they are once we\u2019re headed into that situation.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New York Daily News | Gary Phillips: With the Yankees\u2019 game against the Orioles knotted at one on…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":246075,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[41],"tags":[3090,58813,2731,40617,55675,10632,76031,80474,10626,5918,27065,1266,125695,62,69198,67,132,68,8475,2386],"class_list":["post-246074","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-aaron-judge","tag-ben-rice","tag-boston","tag-cam-schlittler","tag-career-grand-slam","tag-carlos-rodon","tag-extra-innings","tag-gary-phillips","tag-giancarlo-stanton","tag-luis-gil","tag-max-fried","tag-mlb","tag-new-york-daily-news","tag-sports","tag-the-orioles","tag-united-states","tag-unitedstates","tag-us","tag-will-warren","tag-yankees"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115247414433287366","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/246074","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=246074"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/246074\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/246075"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=246074"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=246074"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=246074"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
