The Yankees offense, as Marcus Stroman said, is “clicking on all cylinders.”
And in a game wherein Aaron Judge and Juan Soto didn’t have a success, the Yankees still scored not less than five runs for a season-high seven straight games in an 8-5 victory over Minnesota.
Gleyber Torres, Austin Wells and Trent Grisham, who’ve all slumped this season, each contributed within the win.
Torres had a two-run double, Wells two runs scored and an RBI and the little-used Grisham a homer and three RBIs.
For Torres, it was the continuation of a recent hot stretch.
“We began to see more traction [at the plate] in May, albeit slow,’’ Aaron Boone said prior to the sport. “He’s closer to actually locking in.”
Torres’ power has continued to mostly be elusive, but he entered with five extra-base hits in his previous 11 games, together with an OPS of .875 — in addition to an OPS of .847 over his previous 22 games.
“I feel higher on the plate, but I do know I’m not doing what I could be doing,’’ Torres said.
And Torres stays a great distance off from the numbers he put up last yr, and he can be striking out at a career-worst rate of 24 percent (in comparison with 14.6 percent a yr ago).
“He’s going to get hot and begin driving the ball and [having] multi-hit games,’’ Boone said. “He’s too good a hitter.”
Stroman had been within the midst of a terrific stretch before allowing a season-high five runs in only 4 ²/₃ innings Thursday.
It snapped a franchise record of twenty-two consecutive starts wherein their starting pitchers had allowed three runs or fewer.
In his previous 4 starts, the right-hander had allowed just three earned runs in 26 ²/₃ innings for an ERA of 1.01. He said he struggled with the texture of his pitches.
“It’s hard to have perfect feel every start,’’ Stroman said. “I’m at all times gonna compete.”
Even before Soto left Thursday’s game with left forearm discomfort, Boone said he desired to get Soto and Aaron Judge some day off their feet within the midst of a stretch of 13 games without an off day.
“We’ll stay mindful through this stretch,’’ Boone said of the celebs’ playing time, hoping to get them some games at DH.
Grisham began just his fifteenth game of the season and entered 2-for-39 on the season and and not using a hit in 19 straight at-bats.
“A part of it’s inactivity as an on a regular basis player,’’ Boone said of Grisham’s woeful production. “It doesn’t mean you’ll be able to’t are available and be a spark. His patience and power can play.”
Then Grisham went out and homered and added a sacrifice fly.
Anthony Rizzo fouled a ball off his right knee within the third. He was treated by the trainers and stayed in the sport. … DJ LeMahieu wasn’t within the lineup after playing two straight days. He said he felt advantageous, but is just 4-for-22 with six walks since coming back from a foot fracture. … The Yankees improved to 14-1 against the AL Central.
