The Yankees have finally strung together some games in the win column, after embarking on a five-game losing streak last week. They have since won four straight including three straight over the Baltimore Orioles. A shift in mentality and confidence has been a catalyst behind their recent success, and slugger Luke Voit has been a primary piece to the puzzle.
Voit hit a sacrifice fly that drove in DJ LeMahieu on Saturday afternoon, securing a 2-1 win.
However, one funny moment occurred just before the Yankees got up to bat. Closer Aroldis Chapman was on the mound when manager Aaron Boone went out to pay him a visit. Boone was asked immediately after the game about the mound visit, in which he stated “mother nature calls sometimes.â€

In other words, it seemed as if Chapman had to use the bathroom. Immediately after he got out of the inning, he turned to center field and made a funky face. We can all imagine where he headed once getting to the dugout.
