After last weekend’s disappointing series against rival Red Sox, they needed strong showings this week to stay in the hunt for the AL East lead as the All Star break approaches.

And for the most part, the Yankees have had a good week, but with an opportunity to gain on the Red Sox – who lost on Tuesday night – against the Nationals, the MLB’s worst team the Yanks were unable to capitalize.

Adam Dunn’s homerun was the deth knell for New York as Chien Ming Wang’s record for the season fell to 0-5.
The Yankees are keeping it close with the Sox as the symbolic mid-season break approaches. It would be a huge moral boost if they could close the gap by All-Star week.

Grab some Yankees tickets, and help them out as the look for a bounce-back season.
