The Yankees completed a three-game sweep of the Nationals, marking the first time the franchise has overcome an eighth-inning or later deficit in all three wins. Cam Schlittler, having had a strong first half, will not pitch in the All-Star Game, opting instead to rest. Yankees manager John Schneider has chosen Dylan Cease of the Blue Jays as the All-Star starter. The Yankees conclude the first half of the season three games behind the Rays in the AL East standings after a 5-2 road trip. Meanwhile, the team has added Luke Pettitte, son of former ace Andy Pettitte, to their roster through the draft.
