Aaron Boone is loath to overcelebrate any particular victory, let alone a series, but the Yankees weren’t exactly buying into his Zen after their dramatic conquests of the Oakland Athletics this weekend.

The players mobbed Mike Ford at home plate after his game-ending, ninth-inning blast off A’s closer Liam Hendriks lifted the Yankees to a 5-4 victory on Sunday, their second comeback in two days. Afterward, the clubhouse felt and sounded more like a nightclub, with reggaeton music blaring so loud it was impossible to hold a conversation.

The same scene had played out 24 hours earlier, only it was D.J. LeMahieu who had rescued the Yankees, hitting a solo blast over the right-field wall in the 11th inning to give the Yankees a 4-3 win. The A’s learned firsthand what makes the Yankees so dangerous and why any team that steps into the big Stadium in the Bronx does so at its own risk. The Yankees are tied with the Astros for the most home wins in the American League with 51.

“We believe in ourselves until the very end” is how Brett Gardner described the resolve in the dugout. The situation seemed dire — the Yankees were trailing, 4-0, with six outs to go and on the verge of losing their second series to the A’s in a week — but they scored three runs in the eighth before finishing off Hendriks in the ninth. Gardner tied the game at 4-4 with a solo home run, followed by Ford, who stepped to the plate recalling the countless times he’d imagined himself in that high-leverage moment.
