What happened: The New York Yankees close their homestand Sunday in New York. They begin a road trip Monday.
Why it matters: New York enters Sunday 4.5 games out of the division lead. A strong finish would help steady the club after a difficult 10-game stretch.
By the numbers: The Yankees are 49-39 with a .557 winning percentage and a plus-83 run differential. They are 2-8 over their past 10 games.
What to watch: Watch whether New York can reverse its recent slide before heading on the road.
