SAN DIEGO — With the Yankees at the one-third point of the season, it’s a good time to take stock of the team.
It’s high-performing and on the rise.
The Yankees continued to churn out wins, home runs and stellar starting pitching as they completed their first 54 games with a 4-1 victory over the Padres on Saturday night at Petco Park.

At 37-17, the Yankees have the best record in the American League and second in the Majors only to the Phillies’ 38-15. Only two Yankees clubs in the expansion era (since 1961) had a better mark through 54 games: the 1998 powerhouse (41-13) and the 2022 squad that reached the ALCS (39-15).
“We had a lot of high expectations for this group,” Judge said. “You wear the pinstripes and play in New York, you’re expected to win. I think this group knew that coming into camp. … This group has shown up every single day. Even after a tough loss or a couple tough losses in a row, they show up the next day ready to go. So hats off to everybody
