1️⃣ Remember when the talk of baseball was Boston’s miraculous turnaround — how hot the Red Sox were, going on winning streaks of 15 and nine games, respectively, and charging up the standings?

Then, just days ago, Boston caught New York in the loss column, appearing ready to surge past a struggling Yankees team.

Today? New York holds a four-game lead over Boston after scoring 14 runs in the first two games against Seattle, while the Red Sox are mired in a five-game losing streak.

Baseball is a beautiful game, with a way of evening things out. Right now, the baseball gods are separating the contenders from the pretenders.

➡️ New York, following Wednesday’s 10-5 win over Seattle, is:
▪️45-33 in night games
▪️15-9 against American League West opponents
▪️21-35 when opponents score first
▪️51-43 with Giancarlo Stanton on the injured list
▪️32-29 with Aaron Judge on the injured list
▪️9-7 with Cody Bellinger on the injured list
▪️5-2 with George Lombard Jr. in the lineup
▪️14-10 post-All-Star Game
▪️5-3 post-trade deadline [Tampa Bay, 9-0; Boston, 4-5]
▪️credited with 31 comeback wins this season

➡️ Austin Wells recorded his 100th career extra-base hit Wednesday against Seattle, hitting safely in each of his last six games to match the second-longest hitting streak of his career. Wells is slashing .317/.404/.561 (13-for-41) with six runs, four doubles, two home runs and four RBIs over his last 17 games. … Trent Grisham drove in four of New York's 10 runs Wednesday, hitting a solo homer in the fifth inning, a go-ahead RBI double in the seventh and a two-run home run in the eighth. It marked his ninth career multi-homer game, his seventh as a Yankee and his second of the season. His four RBIs were his second-most in a game this season. … Grisham is slashing .471/.471/1.235 (8-for-17) with five runs, four doubles, three homers and seven RBIs over his last four games.

➡️ Brent Headrick struck out all three batters he faced Wednesday. He has not allowed a run in 35 of his last 39 appearances, posting a 3-0 record with a 0.95 ERA (38.0 IP, 4 ER) and 50 strikeouts over that span. He has stranded 19 of his last 20 inherited runners and has not allowed a run in 52 of his 62 relief appearances — the most in the majors this season and the most by a Yankees reliever through the club’s first 120 games of a season in franchise history.

➡️ New York relievers allowed just three hits over 5.0 scoreless innings Wednesday, extending its streak to 11.1 consecutive innings without allowing an earned run. The bullpen has posted a 2.53 ERA over its last 60 games, holding opponents to a .200 (164-for-821) batting average — the second-best bullpen mark in MLB over that span behind Houston (2.50).

➡️ George Lombard Jr. has hit safely in six of his first seven career games, slashing .320/.393/.560 (8-for-25) with six runs, two homers and two RBIs. … Spencer Jones reached base three times and tied his career high with three RBIs Wednesday. Jones has totaled 10 RBIs in 13 games since July 29.

➡️ Max Fried will make his 15th start of the season today against Seattle. He is holding opponents to a .192/.260/.246 (54-for-281) slash line and has allowed three runs or fewer in 12 of his 14 starts. … Since being reinstated from the injured list, Fried has posted a 1.83 ERA (19.2 IP, 4 ER) and 25 strikeouts in four starts (New York is 3-1). … Fried is the only Yankees starting pitcher in the last 45 years and just the second in the last 93 years to allow one or zero home runs over his first 14 starts of a season (joining Dave Righetti in 1981). … In 1981, Righetti allowed just one home run across 15 starts.

➡️ The Yankees logged their 46th multi-homer game Wednesday and their 11th scoring 10 or more runs, marking their first double-digit output since scoring 12 on July 9. … New York totaled six doubles — its most in a game since hitting six against Colorado on May 24, 2025. … New York has scored 14 runs over the past two games, one more than in its previous five.
