Pretty much every month was an impressive one for the 1998 Yankees, but you could make an argument that July was their best. Over the course of July 1998, the Yankees would go 20-7, which is a .741 winning percentage. That matched May as their best month by winning percentage, but the Yankees’ pitching was especially on point in July. In the 27 games, the staff allowed just 89 runs in total, which is slightly less than 3.3 per game.
All of that began on the 1st of the month, when one big name put in a good performance on the mound, and another put in a good one at the plate.
