Aaron Judge continues his march toward winning the American League MVP award in consecutive seasons. Judge's first hit of the year came when the New York Yankees welcomed the Milwaukee Brewers into Yankee Stadium on Opening Day (March 27).

Jose Soriano fits the mould of a pitcher the New York Yankees have struggled with throughout the year. He’s a pitch-to-contact thrower who has one of the highest ground ball rates in the sport and seldom throws fastball stuff.

Aaron Judge blamed himself for swinging at pitches outside the strike zone as the Yankees were swept in a three-game series at the Red Sox.
