It’s always good to win the one before an off day. The Yankees had a miserable week, but at least they ended it with a win on Sunday, giving us two whole days to bask in the glory of Yankee victory. But the work starts back up today, and there has to be a sense of urgency, with the Yankees in danger of going into the All-Star Break staring at a non-trivial deficit in the AL East. They’ll face the Mariners tonight, with the excellent Logan Gilbert facing off with Will Warren.

Ahead of the matchup with Seattle, catch Josh’s preview of the three-game set. Also, Madison will recap Monday night’s AL action, and Jeff will write the latest entry in the 2000 Yankees diary. And don’t miss Nolan’s recap of the last week on the Yankees farm, which featured plenty to get excited about, like Cam Schlittler’s last outing before getting called up for the first time, more highlights from Spencer Jones, and a wonder day from Everson Pereira.
