Despite the series victory, the Yankees\u2019 lead in the American League East sits at 1 \u00bd games due to the red-hot <a href=\"http:\/\/sportrelay.com\/mlb\/category\/rays\">Tampa Bay Rays<\/a>. These are the major takeaways from the Yankees\u2019 third series sweep of the year.<\/p>\n<h2>Late Inning Offense<\/h2>\n<p><a id=\"nSYj4Ne0RvJn900qcJcA0w\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/2273532195\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'nSYj4Ne0RvJn900qcJcA0w',sig:'mrPq4qJwYea8tN-rVpUmxZKIBFKS1gvu83uQyddmDaE=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'2273532195',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><br \/>\nThe Yankees filled the scoreboard with crooked numbers against the Orioles, but over half of the team\u2019s offense came down the stretch.\u00a0Of the Yankees\u2019 39 runs, 20 of them came in the seventh and eighth innings. This included a seven-run eighth inning in game three, followed by a six-run eighth inning in game four. This late-inning offense helped the Yankees pull away in the final innings and take pressure off the bullpen.<\/p>\n<h2>Improved Bullpen Performances<\/h2>\n<p><a id=\"fcukLL80Tqh__CzKJVKk0w\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/2273845355\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'fcukLL80Tqh__CzKJVKk0w',sig:'Eb39NGPKpFR4ut_QWnrX0l04Y9wlTGwBCT7576luMzc=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'2273845355',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><br \/>\nSpeaking of the bullpen, the Yankees\u2019 relief corps was dominant this past weekend. For the series, the Yankees\u2019 bullpen pitched 13 2\/3 innings, allowing one lone run. They started the four-game set off strong, allowing no hits after taking the ball from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/w\/warrewi01.shtml\">Will Warren<\/a> in the seventh inning. The group finished the series just as strong, shutting out the Orioles in the final 3 1\/3 innings of the series finale.<\/p>\n<p>In total, the bullpen struck out 13 batters while walking four. These performances dropped the bullpen\u2019s ERA to 3.12 on the year, the third lowest in the American League behind the <a href=\"http:\/\/sportrelay.com\/mlb\/category\/mariners\">Seattle Mariners<\/a> (3.12) and <a href=\"http:\/\/sportrelay.com\/mlb\/category\/rangers\">Texas Rangers<\/a> (2.75).<\/p>\n<h2>The Martian Has Landed<\/h2>\n<p><a id=\"wd2L7SX8T7tZyFDL3jGeig\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/2274345994\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'wd2L7SX8T7tZyFDL3jGeig',sig:'oaTsgv9AEAyInuVGCVnZyH8LVu3PyhVJ3aArfrWB9eQ=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'2274345994',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><br \/>\nThe lead-up to the 2026 season was not kind to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/d\/dominja01.shtml\">Jasson Dominguez<\/a>.\u00a0After flashing switch-hitting potential in 2025, including a three-home-run game against the Athletics, Dominguez watched the Yankees keep <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/g\/grichra01.shtml\">Randal Grichuk<\/a> on the roster instead of him. As a result, Dominguez began the season in Triple-A and hit .326 in 92 at-bats. However, when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/s\/stantmi03.shtml\">Giancarlo Stanton<\/a> suffered an injury, Dominguez finally got his shot.<\/p>\n<p>Against the Orioles, Dominguez proved his worth. In three games, he collected five hits, including at least one in each game. He also drove in four total runs, one being his first home run of the year.<\/p>\n<p>Most importantly, Dominguez stayed hot against lefties, raising his batting average to .500 against southpaws.
