More than just securing the series win, the Yankees’ 2-0 triumph over the Cubs yesterday was sealed when Nestor Cortes retired Cody Bellinger. Actually, since their sweep of the Phillies at the end of July, it was the first time the Yanks had won back-to-back games to start a series. After then, they had left:
Win/Loss/Win vs the Blue Jays
W/L/Loss versus the Angels
Win/Loss/Win against the Rangers
[Barf] Losstriumph over the White Sox
Win/Loss/Loss vs the Tigers
Win/Loss/Win against Guardians
Win/Loss/Win vs the Rockies
Win/Loss/Loss vs the Nationals
Win/Loss/Loss Against the Cards
Win/Loss/Loss vs the Rangers
A few series wins can be found there, but there are also five iterations of the infamous Win/Loss/Loss series, which is quite frustrating. It is the worst sort from a vibes perspective, excluding a sweep.
