Hot take: If James Paxton had been throwing his knuckle curve all year, we could be mentioning him in the Cy Young race.
The New York Yankees took the last of a four-game set with the Boston Red Sox on Monday night with a 5-0 win.
Paxton was dominant once again. He tossed 6.2 shutout innings, giving up four hits and fanning seven. This has been a usual day of work for him lately. I mean, just take a look at these numbers since Aug. 1 and tell me this isn’t one of the most dominant starters in baseball.
