The Yankees won last night, again, and its time to ask if things really are turning around for real this time:
Speaking of catching up, the Yankees are doing it on two levels. Because Boston and Cleveland lost, the second-place Yankees moved to within seven games behind the first-place Red Sox in the American League East and six games behind Cleveland in the race for the A.L. wild card.
Seven is still a lot. But the Yankees trailed by 12 as recently as July 5 and by 14 ½ on May 29.
Keep this up and August and September might actually be interesting.
