"With his New York Yankees in the thick of a 12-game gauntlet against four American League playoff contenders, manager Aaron Boone divulged his sleep strategy to manage the stress. "Melatonin makes sure it doesn't keep me up," Boone said last week."
"The Yankees went 7-5 against the four likely playoff-bound clubs -- the Houston Astros, Toronto Blue Jays, Detroit Tigers and Red Sox -- to solidify their hold on the top AL wild-card spot."
""We're the best team in the league," Jazz Chisholm Jr. said after the Yankees' win over the Red Sox on Saturday. "I feel like any team that thinks they're better than us, they should know that when we step on the field that we're coming with relentlessness and we're coming to step on necks. We're not here to play around. We're going to do the job and get the job done.""
Aaron Boone used melatonin to manage stress during a 13-day stretch of games against four American League playoff contenders. The Yankees went 7-5 against the Astros, Blue Jays, Tigers and Red Sox, strengthening their hold on the top AL wild-card position. The 13-day gauntlet ended with a loss to the Red Sox, but the team left Fenway with a series victory. The Yankees begin a final 13 games against teams with losing records — three vs. Twins, three vs. White Sox and seven vs. Orioles — and are 38-23 against sub-.500 opponents.
