\n Let\u2019s winnow down Saturday\u2019s ballgame at Yankee Stadium to a single word: <\/p>\n

Losable.<\/p>\n

When you commit three errors, when you go 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position, when your guy hits the ball the hardest of anyone and it\u2019s an out, when their guy drives in a run with a blooper \u2026 stir, add bourbon and go drown your social<\/a>ly distanced sorrows.<\/p>\n

The Yankees, however, suddenly don\u2019t look like that miserable bunch succumbing to losable contests. As their 10-inning, 2-1 victory over the Orioles here exemplified, they have regained considerable mojo. They can take another giant leap forward Sunday with a series<\/a> sweep.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis game is like riding a surfing wave,\u201d said Luke Voit, who delivered a leadoff, walk-off sacrifice fly to end the game and give the Yankees their fourth straight win. \u201cThere\u2019s going to be ups and downs of it. Eventually stuff will go your way.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s hard sometimes. You can be so negative on yourself. \u2026 You\u2019ve got to be positive and remember to have fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not sure how much fun the Yankees had during this one outside of watching their pitchers excel, particularly Jordan Montgomery (5 \u00b2\/\u2083 innings, one unearned run) bouncing back in a big way from two poor starts and Aroldis Chapman registering a third straight strong outing despite, well, as Aaron Boone put it, \u201cMother Nature calls sometimes.\u201d <\/p>\n

\"Luke<\/img>

The end result, on the other hand, enhanced their positive vibe, as they moved 4 \u00bd games ahead of the Orioles in the race for the final American League playoff spot and remained a half-game behind the Blue Jays for second place in the AL East (the Yankees trail by one game in the loss column) after the Jays held on to beat the Mets, 3-2, Saturday night. <\/p>\n

It represents a notable, needed turnaround from that brutal 5-15 stretch that imperiled everything. Said Boone: \u201cYou just kept waiting for it to happ<\/a>en, desperately wanting it to happen every day. So hopefully now it feels like the guys are starting to feel it and build that confidence and coming to the field now expecting to get it done.\u201d<\/p>\n

So much so that, when the Orioles tied the game at 1-1 on an underwhelming sequence \u2014 Hanser Alberto slashed a sixth-inning single to left field that Brett Gardner failed to pick up, allowing Alberto to reach second; Jose Iglesias advanced Alberto to third on a liner to right; and Ryan Mountcastle scored his teammate with a flare to short center field that escaped a drawn-in, retreating Thairo Estrada \u2014 the Yankees shrugged it off and kept pitching. Same thing when Gary Sanchez\u2019s 114.8 mph line drive in the bottom of the sixth, the best-stroked shot all day, travel<\/a>ed right into Mountcastle\u2019s glove, leaving Gleyber Torres at second, where he would stay.<\/p>\n

Ditto for Montgomery\u2019s fielding error in the fifth on a DJ Stewart bunt and DJ LeMahieu\u2019s throwing error in the seventh on a Pat Valaika grounder, and when Jonathan Holder came in for the 10th and didn\u2019t allow placed runner Andrew Velazquez to score from second, that set up the Yankees to capitalize on the new rule in the bottom of the inning. Placed runner LeMahieu jetted to third on Hunter Harvey\u2019s first pitch of the inning, a wild one, and Voit battled through an eight-pitch at-bat in the shadows, fouling off three Hunter offerings with two strikes, before lifting the deep-enough fly ball to center field as LeMahieu tagged and cruised home.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously it was a tough slog there for a couple of weeks,\u201d Boone said, \u201cbut guys are starting to gain a little bit of confidence and hopefully we can go finish off a really good series into the off day [Monday].\u201d<\/p>\n

During that slog, the Yankees lost games every which way: Bad starting pitching, poor bullpen work, subpar hitting. Losable games, which is most of them, turned into losses.<\/p>\n

At the moment, nearly everything \u2014 the game, second place and the World Series \u2014 seems winnable and attainable. Surf\u2019s up for the Yankees. Can they ride this as far as they hope?\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
