Following a 10-4 win over the Cincinnati Reds in front of a crowd of 25,960 at the Great American Ballpark, the New York Yankees astonishing ascension to the top of the Major League standings continued.
Now, through the team’s first 30 games of the regular season, the Bombers lead the American League in home runs (51), runs scored (177), batting average (.274) and lead all of major league baseball with a 9.2 WAR and an xRC+ of 130. The offense can do no wrong.
Obviously, Aaron Judge has been the prominent story of the young season as he’s still on pace to record 75 home runs, but from top to bottom this team is thoroughly mashing.
