With a 14-3 win over the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday, the Yankees ended a 13-game stretch of play within the usually treacherous American League East, and as they boarded a flight to the West Coast, they might have lamented leaving the suddenly friendly confines of their division.
Sunday’s win at Yankee Stadium completed a three-game sweep and was the Yankees’ eighth victory in those 13 divisional matchups. The game also produced the longest home run in the major leagues this season, a solo shot by Aaron Judge that Statcast, Major League Baseball’s tracking technology, measured at 495 feet.
