New York Over Powers Cincinnati As They Win Their 6th Straight
The night before New York was supposed to fly to Ohio to take on Cincinnati they first had to take care of business by finishing off the world champion Chicago Cubs that took longer than expected eighteen innings to be exact.
How do you think you would perform after playing an eighteen inning game and then had to fly to another state to take on a new opponent the next day? Would you feel extremely exhausted? That was not the case Monday for New York as they were able to back up Masahiro Tanaka fifth straight win while New York won their sixth straight game by a score of 10-4.

New York manager Joe Girardi who is a former player had this to say about his team's performance" It's great," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "It's a tough performance by our guys. Guys are really fatigued. To be able to come and get three [first-inning runs] and let Tanaka go to work, then to get another the next inning and put 10 on the board, it shows you a lot about these guys."
