This one represented an oasis of sorts for the Yankees,
who have been parched while searching for relief like this through a two-month stretch in which their 23-33 record is 12th in the AL. The victory increased their lead in the loss column to three over the Rays, who have nine games remaining against Toronto and six against Houston the rest of the way. It also clinched the season series, which is the first tiebreaker. The Yankees actually have gone 11-8 over their last 19 games, which is not bad at all for a club dealing with so many injuries.
“They all count,” said an unabashed Stanton, who entered the game having gone 4-for-40 since his Aug. 25 return from the IL. “That counts too.”
