The Yankees are continuing their winning ways, putting away another game against the Orioles thanks to Aaron Judge’s bat, Michael King’s dominance, and Aroldis Chapman’s luck to not blow the game completely in the ninth. That makes it three straight wins for New York, who once again put the onus on their rivals to keep pace in a highly-competitive American League field so far. Let’s see how the competition did last night:
Ever the pesky team, the Rays are up near the top of the league once again, and they won a blowout on Tuesday. Ji-Man Choi knocked home a run in the first inning to give the Rays the early lead, Kevin Kiermaier added a solo shot in the second, then Kiermaier singled home another in the fourth to give Tampa a 3-0 lead.
