Final Thoughts: Well Jose Abreu came through in tonight's game. He was 2/5, with 3-RBIs were the difference in tonight's game.  Abreu ends the game with a walk-off single scoring Willy Garcia and Alen Hanson.  As for the Yankees you just get a feeling that their pitching staff is underachieving.  One Yankees pitcher who hasn't underachieve was tonight's starter, Luis Severino. Severino went seven strong, struck out 12, with no walks.  The Yankees Bullpen however has terrible command.  In the last two innings, the Yankees 'Pen gave up 6 base on balls.
