The start of the series between the New York Yankees and the Los Angeles Angels at Yankee Stadium, scheduled to begin this Tuesday, was postponed due to heavy rain hitting the city and a doubleheader will be played starting this Wednesday.
Through a statement released by MLB, the decision was made to suspend the game after incessant rain that continued since the early hours of Tuesday, which forced the tarp to be put up at Yankee Stadium and has not been removed since.
“Tuesday night’s game between the Angels and Yankees at Yankee Stadium has been postponed due to rain.. It will be part of a traditional doubleheader on Wednesday, August 7, beginning at 4:05 p.m. ET,” reads the official Major League Baseball website, MLB.com.
Aaron Boone’s team saw the series as a new opportunity to continue fighting for the lead in the American League East, after accumulating 67 wins and 46 losses, sharing the lead with the Baltimore Orioles.
However, beyond the record, what has most caught the attention of the Yankees at present is their present, With seven wins in the last eight duels and with a performance that seems to have recovered the offensive that was scarce in July and that led the Mules to maintain a negative record and even to have lost six of seven previous series.
In any case, a large part of the Yankees’ rebirth is due to the present of Aaron Judge, who remains in the race with 41 home runs to surpass his own home run record that he set in 2022, as well as the performance of other pieces such as Juan Soto, Anthony Volpe and even DJ LeMahieu, who ended up reacting after a slow start following a long injury.
