After slogging through a miserable stretch of games in which they went 5-15, the New York Yankees are finally back to their winning ways. They have won five straight to put themselves .5 games back of the second-place Toronto Blue Jays to improve their playoff standing.

With several offensive players still to return from injury, they have done it with pitching, namely starting pitching. In those five wins, the starters have pitched to the following line: 5 G, 3 W, 29.2 IP, 1.21 ERA, 2.53 FIP, 30.9 K%, 1.8 BB%, 0.91 HR/9, 1.3 WAR. Those numbers are better than Cy Young leader Shane Bieber if extrapolated over the full season.
