Yankees avoid sweep as Ryan McMahon shines in win over Phillies

The Yankees salvaged a series and avoided a sweep on Sunday, as they defeated the Phillies, 4-3, in the Bronx.

Such a result seemed unlikely for the embattled Bombers in the second inning, as Philadelphia took an early lead after Nick Castellanos and Otto Kemp hit solo home runs off Carlos Rodón. However, Zack Wheeler, who only needed five pitches to get through the first, had his own rough second frame, allowing a single to Giancarlo Stanton before hitting Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Jasson Domínguez.

Ryan McMahon, playing in just his second game with the Yankees after being acquired from the Rockies on Friday, followed with a game-tying, two-run double for his first ribbies in pinstripes.

Austin Wells then gave the Yankees the lead with a sac fly before Trent Grisham added an RBI single.

Kemp hit another solo shot off Rodón in the fifth to make it a one-run game, but things could have gone much worse for the southpaw after he permitted an Edmundo Sosa single and walked Weston Wilson. Rodón responded by striking out Johan Rojas for the inning’s first out before McMahon slid to his knees for a grounder and threw out the speedy Trea Turner, preventing a single. Cody Bellinger then made an off-balance catch at the right field wall to end the inning.

McMahon, acquired because he is one of baseball’s best defensive third basemen, also made a leaping catch in the fourth inning, as well as a diving stop in his Yankees debut on Saturday.

Rodón, meanwhile, totaled four hits, one walk and eight strikeouts while giving up three earned runs over 5.1 innings and 90 pitches. The Yankees’ beleaguered bullpen, in need of upgrades before the trade deadline, then kept the Phillies off the board.

The Yankees nearly had another run in the fourth, as Bellinger led the inning off with a triple thanks to some shoddy defense from Castellanos in right.

However, Bellinger ended the inning by getting thrown out at home plate after Chisholm softly lined a ball to Rojas in center. Rojas fired a high throw home, but J.T. Realmuto jumped for the ball before quickly applying a tag to Bellinger’s neck. Bellinger didn’t have the most efficient slide, as his leading legs completely missed home plate before he swiped it with his left hand.

No matter though, as the Yankees were still able to improve to 57-48 on the season. With the Blue Jays losing to the Tigers on Sunday, Aaron Boone’s ballclub is now 5.5 games out of first place in the American League East with a divisional matchup against the Rays on deck.

Mobbed-up Long Island cop staged fake raid at rival ‘Sal the Shoemaker’ gambling parlor: feds

A mobbed-up Nassau cop working behind-the-scenes for the Bonanno crime family staged a fake raid to shut down a gambling parlor run by rival Genovese gangster Salvatore “Sal the Shoemaker” Rubino, federal prosecutors charge in new court filings. Now-fired Nassau County Police Department Detective Hector Rosario allegedly had a side gig working for the Bonanno crime family — and the Bonannos considered Rubino’s gambling den in his Merrick, L.I. shop, Sal’s Shoe Repair, the competition, the feds say. So in 2013 or 2014, two Bonanno members paid Rosario to shut the place down and Rosario got to work, according to a January filing by federal prosecutors. The two Bonannos who gave the order are expected to sing at Rosario’s trial in Brooklyn Federal Court next month. Neither are named in the court filings. One of the informants, a Bonanno associate, is expected to testify he was in the room when Rosario and his “associates” barged into Rubino’s shoe repair shop, broke one of the gamb...

Unclaimed Funds Archive

What are unclaimed property and unclaimed funds? Perhaps you forgot to cash a check, overpaid a bill, or didn’t know you were the beneficiary of a long-lost relative’s life insurance policy. There are many reasons why you may be owed money and not be aware of it. That is why banks, insurance companies, courts, corporations, and other organizations are required by law to attempt to notify you by mail and publish information regarding unclaimed property in the newspaper. What happens to unclaimed property? Organizations have between one and five years to try to reunite account holders with their property, depending on the state and industry. After that “dormancy period,” the funds are turned over to the state. The NY State Comptroller will hold on to unclaimed funds indefinitely, just waiting for you to file a claim. How to find lost money: Search for your name—and your family members’ names—in the unclaimed property and funds lists published in the New York Daily News, linked below...
