Even the most sanguine Bronx Bombers supporters could not have predicted a start like this one. With a 10-3 record, the New York Yankees own the best record in baseball, despite Aaron Judge’s struggles and Gerrit Cole’s lack of playing time.
It’s been the definition of a full-group effort to get the Yankees’ plane off the ground this smoothly, with a number of surprise efforts uplifting the team in spite of the few things that have gone wrong. This weekend in Cleveland, they’ll look to prove they’re the clear-cut best team in the American League by beating up on the upstart Guardians, 9-3 themselves to this point.
