August could have taken the Yankees off the post-season expressway. It was a month with only two scheduled off-days and five series against winning teams, but the fortunes of several Bombers turned during it.
Andy Pettitte wasn't able to return from a groin injury, A-Rod a calf strain, Javier Vazquez pitched poorly enough to lose his spot in the starting rotation and A.J. Burnett threw like a human piñata.
Still here they are: alone in first place.
For the second straight night the Yankees pounded one of the Oakland A's heralded young pitchers, this time emerging with a 9-3 victory before 44,575 at the Stadium. The win puts the Bombers back atop the AL East and ended a record run of eight straight days tied with the Rays in the catbird seat. (Daily News)
