The Yankees weren’t very nice to Baltimore Tuesday, going yard at Camden Yards four times with the bats of just OF Brett Gardner and DH Matt Holliday en route to an 8-3 win. The symmetry of what Gardner and Holliday are up to is pretty satisfying: each went 2-5, 2 R, 2 HR, 2 RBI while each launching their tenth and eleventh homers of the year. One more strikeout for Holliday is all that separated them Tuesday. Gardner is hitting .276 from leadoff, while a .261 Holliday is sandwiched in between Gary Sanchez and cleanup man Starlin Castro. While the heroics of guys like Aaron Judge and Luis Severino are prominent reasons the Yankees sit atop the AL East, efforts by other studs in pinstripes are not to be trivialized.
Let's take a look at what else happened notably hitting-wise around the league:
Bregman with another dong today. Is this the turnaround supported by the hard hit numbers or is this a hot streak we should try to sell on? Thanks!
