ST. LOUIS — Instant reaction to the Yankees three-game sweep of the Cards, improving to 67-57 on the season.
The Yankees were hitless through three, but they broke through in the fourth inning, scoring three runs with some small ball with a walk from Chisholm, a double by Goldschmidt, an infield hit from Dominguez, a single from McMahon and a single from Caballero.

The Yankees could have had more, but the umpire made a brutal call on Grisham, leading to the
The Cardinals came roaring back after an E5 by McMahon lead off an inning and with two outs, Thomas Saggese hit a two-run double off Warren to get the Cards back in the game.
Warren would come back out for the fifth inning and after a single/E4 and a single would tie the game. Warren did not have his best stuff, though only one of the three runs he surrendered were earned.
Final Line:
Comilo Doval would come in and the first batter he faced — Yohol Pozo — took him deep to left-center to give the Cards the lead.
The Yankees would come storming back, after Grisham walked (and Cards manager Oli Marmol was ejected), Judge would loop a single, sending Grisham to third and a Bellinger sac fly would tie the game. Chisholm would strike out to end the inning.
Tim Hill and Luke Weaver would work a scoreless combined 2.2 innings in to keep the Yankees in the game and in the ninth inning, shut the door quickly.
More small ball? Yes please! Caballero hits a chopper to lead off the ninth that turned into an E4, putting him on second with no outs. A wild pitch advanced him to third with no outs. After walks to Stanton and Judge loaded the bases, another error for the second baseman Saggese — his second that inning — giving the Yankees two runs. Jazz would give the Yankees another run on an RBI groundout, then stole second and scored on an RBI double by Goldschmidt.

This is the first sweep by the Yankees since July 8-10th against the Mariners and the first sweep on the road since June 10-12 in Kansas City.
The Yankees are now 5-1 in their last six games and 6-2 in their last eight. Hopefully, this is the start of some good momentum.
