Report cards: Grading Giancarlo Stanton, Yankees after 40 games

The Yankees' 2018 season began with a few weeks of mediocracy, then came a few weeks of some of the best baseball you’ve ever see ... and this incredible hot streak may not be over.

They were 9-9 through 18 games, then went on a 17-1 run that was their best 18-game stretch since 1953.

The Yankees’ 6-2 win on Sunday has them with a 28-12 record that is the best in baseball and has them a half-game up in the AL East on the 28-13 Boston Red Sox, who lost at home to the Oakland Athletics on Monday night.
