It’s Saturday, August 24, and the New York Yankees (76-53) and Colorado Rockies (47-82) continue their weekend series this afternoon in the Bronx at Yankee Stadium.
One day after shutting out the Guardians 6-0, New York hurlers turned the trick on the Colorado Rockies shutting them out by the score of 3-0. Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge went yard and that was more than enough offense for the Yankees.
As a result, the Yankees maintained their 1½ game lead in the AL East and the best record overall in the American League.
