Since splitting that strange four-game set with the Angels in the Mike Trout/Aaron Judge Show, the Yankees haven’t lost. They swept the Royals, shipped up to Boston and did the same to the Red Sox, and are now coming off a decisive win in Houston last night, their seventh in a row. The only bad part was Giancarlo Stanton leaving early with a calf injury. As we await word on whether Stanton will need IL time, the Yanks are still sitting pretty and eyeing and eight-game winning streak with Ryan Weathers
taking the bump tonight. Very nice!
Today on the site, Nick will present his first edition of the monthly Reliever Confidence Index, Madison will run through the latest the Rivalry Roundup, and Matt will celebrate the 143rd birthday of a forgotten Deadball Era one-year wonder. Later, Matt will return to create an All-Star team of April birthdays in Yankees history.
