June 28-30, 2024: at Cincinnati (3)

Game 1: 6-2 W. WP-Patino (7-4, 6 6 1 1 1 5). S-Feyereisen (5). HR-Soto (17). The first four hitters in the lineup (Franco, Albies, Bregman and Soto) were a combined 11-20 and drove in all 6, including a 3-run Soto shot in the 4th that broke open a 0-0 game. Arozarena set a club record by whiffing all 5 times up.

Game 2: 4-6 L. LP-Chirinos (6-3, 4.2 8 6 6 1 3). HR-Arozarena (15). Yonny was rocked, and Arozarena single-handedly kept them in the game driving in all 4 runs, but it wasn't enough.

Game 3: 8-9 L (10)
. LP-Feyereisen (1-3). Starter-McClanahan (4.1 5 6 6 4 3). HR-Franco (11), Soto 2 (19). Up 6-0 in the 4th with Mac on the mound you had to figure the Rays' win probability was 99% but Mac gave up 4 in the 4th, left with 2 on in the 5th and Gau gave up a 3-run homer to let Cincy tie it after Soto hit the first of his homers in the top of the inning. Soto homered again to tie it, but Feyereisen gave up a couple of hits, including one to a guy I should have intentionally walked, to lose it. Rene Pinto was 3-4 with a double and RBI and has been the ideal backup C, hitting 276/329/553.

Team record: 52-31. The Yankees took 2 of 3 from Milwaukee to pull back within 1/2 game. Next up: 4 games in Baltimore.

MLB News: Juan Soto was named AL Player of the Week, hitting 4 dingers in the period. Minnesota lost C Salvador Perez for 2+ months with a torn abdominal muscle.

Players of the Month: AL-Nick Pratto (KC), .362-5-22; NL-Nolan Gorman (ARI), .355-8-30.

Pitchers of the Month: AL-Patrick Corbin (HOU), 3-0, 0.35; NL-Lucas Giolito (MIL), 4-0, 1.56.
