It’s Thursday, August 22, and the New York Yankees (74-53) and Cleveland Guardians (73-53) take the field at Yankee Stadium for the finale of their 3-game series.
New York jumped on Joey Cantillo early and never looked back last night. Juan Soto homered in the first and drove in 5 for the game and Aaron Judge continued his assault on opposing pitchers hitting his 46th and 47th bombs of the season as the Yankees rolled to an 8-1 victory.
As a result, the Yankees regained 1st place in the AL East and the best record overall in the American League. Cleveland’s lead in the AL Central Division is down to 2½ games due to their loss and Kansas City’s win.
