Yankees can play any team tough -- and even win -- up until they use Williams!

Stanton and Judge reunited in lineup.

Definitely praying no one hits the ball to RF!

This is his 4th game back, so it's time for Judge to have a break out performance.

Rice squats, while Dominguez and Chisholm sit.

Is he a Prince? Judge from Triple Crown to probably no crowns.

Yankees REALLY need the healing power of Gil.

Boone continues to manage the pitchers into trouble

WHY did Leiter get pulled after 4 pitches?

Weaver, Doval, Bednar

and unfortunately Williams are pitching in almost every game

but Leiter has thrown 8 pitches in a week and Hill has not been on the mound for so long, he forgot how to find it from the bullpen

And now they don't have Bednar available tomorrow. It was Boone who put a crimp in that by not having Leiter pitch the 7th.

apologies to Cary, but it's again time to abuse Bednar's stout heart and big arm

Schlittler is not yet fully ripened.

he probably should, being a two-pitch guy, be in the pen while he works on commanding his curveball

Thanks be to Grisham for allowing the bullpen the opportunity to blow two saves in one day!

"A young man from Compton rises to the highest levels of baseball greatness.

Considered one of the classiest baseball players ever, this is Roy White's story, but it's also the story of a unique period in baseball history when the Yankees fell from grace and regained glory and the country dealt with societal changes in many ways."
