Yanks 2015: The Month of May

Posted on April 29, 2015 at 06:53 PM.

The Yanks had another up and down month. Gardner and Ellsbury have picked it up a bit. They are both stealing bases in heaps as well. Gardner has 63 stolen bases on the year already and Ellsbury has 48. Beltran is still leading the team in RBIs with 33. McCann has 9 home runs on the year. McCann has cooled off in that respect considering he only had 2 homers this month. Tanaka is in the lead for the AL Cy Young currently. He is 7-3 with a 1.59 ERA, 100 strikeouts and 0.71 WHIP on the year.

The Yanks currently trail in the AL East by 1.5 games to the Orioles although they led the division most of the month.

Series results:

@ BOS 4-2 W, 6-3 W, 6-5 L
@ TOR 4-1 W, 5-3 W, 4-3 W
BAL 4-2 L, 6-4 L, 4-1 W, 4-0 W
@ TB 5-2 L, 2-1 L, 3-0 W, 1-0 W
@ KC 2-0 L, 3-2 L, 1-0 L
@ WSH 3-2 L, 8-1 W
TEX 7-1 W, 2-1 L, 10-5 L
KC 4-1 W, 4-2 W, 4-1 W
@ OAK 5-3 L, 4-1 L, 6-3 L, 1-0 L

With the exception of the two road series against the A's and Royals the Yanks played well as a whole. The Yanks are heading to Seattle next and coming off of 4 straight losses they desperately need a win. It should be a tall order with Hernandez slated to start for the Mariners in the opening game of the series.
