Yankees News
Gerrit Cole continues to solidify his legacy, surpassing Roger Clemens for 12th all-time on the Yankees' strikeout list, as he led the team to a 5-3 victory over the Orioles, capping off a sweep that keeps the Yankees competitive in a tight division race. Meanwhile, Cam Schlittler is turning heads with a staggering 2.19 ERA and leading the AL in fWAR, raising questions about his potential Cy Young candidacy. The Yankees are riding a wave of dominant pitching, evident in their recent run differential of +4 over the last week, despite an offense that often struggles to find its rhythm. However, it’s hard to ignore the bittersweet news of Jon Berti's retirement, which serves as a reminder of the changing tides in baseball and the personal journeys of players.
