Yankees-Tigers takeaways: Can anyone touch lights-out pitching staff?

The Angels and Tigers proved no match for the Yankees in a pair of home sweeps.

The Bombers have won six straight and are now 39-15, the best record in baseball by four games in the loss column. Their lead atop the American League East is now seven games in the loss column. And Aaron Judge is having an MVP-caliber season as his contract year dominance continues. So life is good.

That said, the Angels have now lost 11 straight after a weekend series by the Joe Girardi-less Phillies and the Tigers are a far cry from the team that swept the Yankees in Detroit last year.
