The Yankees just swept the Guardians and Isiah Kiner-Falefa was the no-doubt MVP of the three-game set.
He was already on a hot streak entering the series, batting .437 in his previous five games before Friday. His batting average had jumped from .174 to .282. Now he heads into Monday’s day off at .300.
How well did Kiner-Falefa play in this series? Well, he hit .363 with four RBI. Not only did he hit the game-tying double on Saturday, he also scored the winning run. He has struck out just ten times.
