The Yankees veteran hitters finally showed up in their 6-3 win over the Cubs on Saturday afternoon at the Stadium.
The plot of the Yankees’ game Saturday was borrowed from those movies in which a plane that has been presumed lost suddenly materializes and lands while missing passengers stream off the aircraft no worse for the wear from the experience.
The Yankees have one game to go before the All-Star break and are tied with the Blue Jays for the last AL wild-card spot. Cole has been an ace. Carlos Rodon’s performance Friday in his debut in pinstripes provides hope for a rotation that has been held together through the first half by bailing wire, chewing gum and Cole.
But even if the rotation spins, the Yankees won’t go anywhere meaningful if the big names packing the lineup continue to sputter, and that applies whether or not Judge is able to provide meaningful at-bats for the club down the stretch. There is nowhere to hide for the heart of the order that has put up ghastly numbers in Judge’s absence.
“I don’t put more pressure on myself because of Judge,” said Stanton, who was in the outfield for the 12th time this year. “It’s nothing to do with that for me. It’s never a lack of effort or a lack of work.”
