The New York Yankees will look to build off of Tuesday’s stronger offensive showing when Corey Kluber takes the mound Wednesday.

The New York Yankees seemed destined for a third straight loss after going down 3-0 early on Tuesday. A five-run fourth inning later, not to mention some later insurance, and they pulled off the 7-4 victory.

However, though the first-place Boston Red Sox lost, so did three more AL East teams including the Yankees. The Bronx Bombers are still in fourth place, but are just 1.5 games out of first.
