KANSAS CITY — A lot has to go right for a ballclub to play .700 baseball, and the Yankees were just 10 percentage points shy after improving to a best-in-baseball 29-13 with an 8-3 win over the Kansas City Royals on Saturday night.
The MLB team stats offer more proof of how good the Yankees are, as they’re at the top or near the top in the American League in runs scored, homers, on-base percentage, OPS, walks, team ERA, starting pitching ERA and bullpen ERA.
Even the Yankees’ fielding percentage has soared from dead last a few weeks ago to fourth best.
