On Sunday, the Yankees capped off an undefeated homestand with a 5-4, 10-inning win over the Tigers. It completed a second straight sweep and has reasserted the Yankees into the best record in baseball spot, after they had fallen out of that distinction last week.
With another week in the books, let’s check in on what the rest of the competition was doing as the Yankees were picking up their sixth straight win.
The Twins jumped on the Blue Jays early and hung on late, picking up a series win in Toronto. Minnesota scored five runs on six hits and an error over the first two innings, taking a commanding lead early against Jays’ ace Kevin Gauman.
