The Yankees have made a habit of playing close games early on this season, including the first half of Saturday’s doubleheader when their bullpen had to walk a tightrope for a one-run win over the Guardians.

But they turned on cruise control in the nightcap.

After Oswaldo Cabrera’s two-run homer lifted them to a 3-2 win in Game 1, the Yankees scored early and often in Game 2 to support an impressive spot start from right-hander Cody Poteet for an 8-2 win, sweeping the doubleheader at Progressive Field.

“Not an easy thing to do,” manager Aaron Boone said. “Especially when you spend the whole day here and the split doubleheader, to walk out of here with two wins is definitely nice, with an opportunity to have a great weekend Sunday.”

With the sweep of the Guardians (9-5), the Yankees improved to 12-3, matching the best start in franchise history through 15 games. 

Juan Soto delivered a three-run homer to help break the nightcap open in the fourth inning and Cabrera added an RBI double in the fifth as he takes over everyday third-base duties with Jon Berti landing on the IL.

Jack in the Box adds a new dessert to its menu with the introduction of the new Oreo Ultimate Cookie Bar.

The Oreo Ultimate Cookie Bar features a soft and chewy vanilla blondie loaded with Oreo chunks and white chocolate chips, topped with Oreo pieces and Oreo crust underneath.

If the name of the new Oreo treat rings a bell, that’s probably because the chain launched a similarly named limited-time Oreo Cookie Ultimate Chocolate Shake back in August 2022.

You can find the new Oreo Ultimate Cookie Bar at participating locations nationwide for a limited time.

He was not exactly facing Murderers’ Row, but the opponent has often not mattered for Carlos Rodon as a Yankee.

On Tuesday, it was the Marlins in front of him, and Rodon mowed them down for one of his best starts in pinstripes.

Rodon took a shutout into the seventh inning before running into some trouble (only part of which was his own doing), but it was enough to send the Yankees to a 3-2 win over the Marlins in The Bronx.

“A step in the right direction today,” Rodon said after giving up a pair of unearned runs over six-plus innings with six strikeouts. “Just keep going. The confidence is growing, for sure.”

The Yankees are now off to a 10-2 start, matching their best in franchise history through 12 decisions after also doing it in 1922, 1949 and 2003 — three seasons that each ended in a trip to the World Series.

Building off of Nestor Cortes’ eight shutout innings against the Marlins (1-11) on Monday night, Rodon completed six scoreless innings for the first time as a Yankee (in his 17th start with the team).
