The New York Yankees recovered after losing three home games to the Red Sox, winning seven straight before dropping a 3-2 game to the Chicago White Sox when Lenyn Sosa hit a go-ahead solo homer in the eighth. The team immediately traveled to Houston for a series with the Astros and wore Western outfits upon departure from Chicago. The loss did not dampen team optimism. As the season moves into its final month, the Yankees sit second in the AL East, three games behind Toronto, and hold the top American League Wild Card spot at 76-61. Upcoming opponents include Houston, a three-game home series against Toronto, and three games versus the Central-leading Tigers.
The New York Yankees have been back in form since losing three games at home last week to the rival Boston Red Sox. Since that dreadful performance, the Yankees had won seven games in a row before they lost Sunday's series finale to the Chicago White Sox. Chicago's Lenyn Sosa broke a 2-2 tie with a solo home run in the bottom of the eighth inning and the Yankees left the South Side of Chicago after absorbing a 3-2 defeat.
However, that defeat did not put a damper on superstar Aaron Judge and the rest of the Yankees. They immediately headed to Texas after the game to take on a series with the Houston Astros. As the Yankees left the White Sox' home field, they were dressed in typical Western outfits, regularly worn by Texas residents. That theme is exemplified by Texas-based movies and television programs.
As the season heads into the final month of the season, the Yankees find themselves in second place in the American League East, 3 games behind the division-leading Toronto Blue Jays. They are also the lead Wild Card team in the American League, as they have 76-61 record. That gives them a half-game lead over the Red Sox (76-62) and a 3-game advantage over the Seattle Mariners (73-64). The Mariners sit in the third and final Wild Card spot.
