Yankees Beat Mariners 10-5 the Day After They Get a $2.6 Billion Investment

The Yankees continued their romp over the Seattle Mariners with a 10-5 win tonight. The Mariners are like the Yankees in that they cannot score either. Thus, we expected, and got, a low-scoring game. The Bombers benefited from being at home and having the last at-bat in this game; they also benefited from a large and raucous crowd.

The Yankees called up some bullpen help before this game. They placed Kelvin Castro on the Injured List, and they called up Bradley Hanner to make his major league debut. Hanner has been effective with AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season, but he is a career minor-league player. Soon the Yanks will get some reinforcements from the injured list. Do you think these additions to the laundry will bolster the team?
