The New York Yankees, after their Subway Series victory, have strongly come back to the league. Now, they’re standing at the top of the American League East Division with 76 wins and 48 losses at 0.613. Major credit for their success goes to Aaron Judge, who’s hit 48 homers this season and is on track to win the MVP Award.

The Yankees started 2022 on a very positive note. Their lucrative campaign at the beginning of the season supplied their massive lead in the East Division. However, over the past few weeks, they have witnessed a slump and lost six straight series. Entering the Subway Series on a low, the Pinstripes did brilliantly and came out victorious by clean sweeping the Mets.
