The New York Yankees have an edge to them this year.
It’s September 3rd, and the Yankees are trying to hold onto a 5-4 lead over the Rangers in the middle of a tightly contested AL East race. Clay Holmes had the bases loaded with just one out, but Aaron Boone has chosen to keep him in because the right-hander is always just one pitch away from getting a game-ending double play ball.

On Saturday night, Yankees closer Luke Weaver, who has had something of a meteoric rise in 2024, took the hill and blanked the Royals for an impressive four-out save.
