The Yankees (90-48, 10.0 GA in AL East) open a three-game series with the Rangers (67-71, 22 GB in AL West, 12.5 GB for second Wild Card) on Monday at 1:05 p.m. at Yankee Stadium.

Yankees notes

Mike Ford played hero on Sunday, hitting a walk-off home run in the Yankees' 5-4 win over the A's... Brett Gardner also homered in the ninth to aid in the comeback victory... Though Gary Sanchez has just five hits in his last 26 at-bats, three of those hits have been for homers and his OPS is a very respectable .838 over that span.
