Pinstriped Performances: Monday, July 22, 2019

Due to rain and off days, it was a light amount of action in the New York Yankees organization on Monday. The two GCL squads faced each other in a doubleheader and there were extra innings in the Dominican Summer League. Meanwhile, Tampa pulled off a comeback win, Pulaski used 3 home runs to get a victory, and Staten Island’s leadoff hitter continues to shine.
