First-inning home runs from Jazz Chisholm and Anthony Volpe actually carried the Yankees to a 9-6 victory over the visiting Guardians on June 6, 2025, even though the bullpen tried to give it up in the middle and late innings. Another blast from Paul Goldschmidt in the fifth capped the Yanks’ tack-on runs at nine, for the win. Continue reading →
Clarke Schmidt actually pitched well, once he was derailed with a two-run Angel Martinez home run where the first three reached and scored in the top of the first in a 4-0 loss to the Guardians in the Stadium on June 4, 2025. Continue reading →
Eventual Rookie of the Year Luis Gil threw six scoreless frames in a 5-1 win over visiting Minnesota on June 4, 2024. The Yankee offense came via a Gleyber Torres solo home run in the second, a two-run Aaron Judge double in the third, and a Giancarlo Stanton two-run bomb in the eighth. Continue reading →
Lefty Carlos Rodon had a great seven-inning outing against the visiting Guardians on June 3, 2025, and was rewarded for his trouble, even though he allowed the tying run, 1-1, before he left. But Jazz Chisholm and Anthony Volpe back-to-back homers in the bottom of the seventh meant he pitched until there was a lead, even though Devin Williams almost gave it back, allowing a run on a double/single leading off the top of the ninth.

June 2 is a sad day in Yankee land, as Lou Gehrig was lost to amyotropic lateral sclerosis, the condition that is more famously referred to as Lou Gehrig’s disease, on this day in 1941. But the Yankee organization did institute the first ever “Lou Gehrig Day” on this day in 2021, and the team responded with a 4-3 win over Tampa. Jordan Montgomery went six for the win, and Gio Urshela and Clint Frazier supplied the offense, driving in two apiece. Gio whacked a two-run homer in the first, while Clint, coming off an 11th-inning walkoff the previous day, singled for two in the fourth. Continue reading →
The first (historically and tradition-wise) of two huge June 1 Yankee days took place as Lou Gehrig pinch-hit for shortstop Paul Wanninger in 1925 in a 5-3 loss to the Senators. The next day Lou played first for Wally Pipp, making what was to become his record consecutive-games streak two games old. Continue reading →
Marvelous reclamation project and free agent Chris Carpenter got the Yanks off toward a 9-1 victory over visiting Baltimore with his second Bomber long ball, a two-run home run in the first inning on May 31, 2022. DJ LeMahieu and Jose Trevino also drove in two, the latter with an eight-inning bomb that capped the scoring. Continue reading →
Young Padres righthander Chris Paddock came into Yankee Stadium with some lofty numbers for the May 29, 2019, game, but DJ LeMahieu and Luke Voit turned two of his first six pitches into home runs, and Gio Urshela went yard in the second. On the other side of things, it was disappointing that James Paxton pitched just four innings for the Yankees, but you wouldn’t know it from the final score, which was a 7-0 win by the good guys. Voit would triple in front of a two-run Gleyber Torres home run in the seventh, and Cameron Maybin stole a run in the sixth, following a single by purloining both second and third, then scoring on a throwing error on the latter. Continue reading →
The first 10 Yankees to come to bat in the home third vs the visiting Padres on May 28, 2023, either reached or made outs to score others in a seven-run frame. Kyle Higashioka doubled twice in the inning, and Willie Calhoun once. San Diego scored four times late to narrow the final to 10-7. Continue reading →
