Yankees Own MLB's Best Record

The New York Yankees overtook the Philadelphia Phillies for the best record in the 2024 Major League Baseball season. They’ve taken the driver’s seat after completing a three-game sweep against the San Francisco Giants.

The Yankees earned their 42nd win in 61 matches after edging the Giants 7-5. New York's five-run ninth inning gave them the lead the home team couldn't overhaul. Juan Soto led the way with three runs, three hits, and three RBIs in five at-bats.

Meanwhile, Anthony Volpe registered two hits, two runs, and one RBI in their third game after his 21-game hitting streak ended. Aaron Judge contributed two hits and one run, while Alex Verdugo had two RBIs.

The Yankees are on a five-game winning streak, dating back to their last two games against the Los Angeles Angels. The streak helped them create a three-game lead over the Baltimore Orioles in the American League East.

New York has the best overall record, one game ahead of the Phillies. The Aaron Boone-managed squad is on its way to surpassing Baseball Reference's prediction of 71.6 wins this season.

The Yankees can extend their winning streak as they commence a six-game home stand, starting with their three-game showdown against the Minnesota Twins. After which, the Yankees will host the Los Angeles Dodgers for another three-game series.
