It was just two weeks ago that the Yankees swept the Mets in the Bronx, triggering a 10-game winning streak that ended with back-to-back losses to the Atlanta Braves, including a 10-5 setback on Wednesday at Yankee Stadium. The Yankees hit four home runs in the loss, but starter Phil Hughes (7-6) gave up four of his own and Boone Logan served up another.

Yankees coach: Melky made himself tradeable

The Yankees traded Melky Cabrera away, the Braves cut him, but over the last two seasons the Melk-Man has completely turned his career around and become one of the better players in the league.

Minors Wrap-Up: Betances Walks Seven in Loss

Derek Jeter, probably the only more popular player in the nation throughout Chipper’s career, and his former...

Interleague is Child’s Play for Yanks in 2012

CC Sabathia and the rest of the Yankees pitching staff have dominated interleague play in 2012.
